<< I hope some one can help me with this question.   I a 1967 TR4A and am
 experiencing what I feel is a very hard clutch pedal.  It takes a lot of
 pressure to push the pedal to the floor (about 20-30 lbs.). This seems
 quite hard to me, it is difficult to get a smooth start and quite
 uncomfortable in heavy traffic sitting at stop lights.  The pedal seems to
 spring back very hard and fast.  I had a TR3 many years ago and do not
 remember the clutch being this way.  This is so bad that my wife can't
 drive this car.  I have talked to Moss tech help but they did not have an
 answer.  My local British car garage says that is the way it should be(I
 bought the car there).  Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

As I understand it there is a TR4a/6 clutch out there that is very hard. Maybe
you have one of these. You could also check the slave shaft - which of the 3
holes in the operating lever is it attached to? The bottom hole should yield
the least pressure required to operate.
