Clutch that requires he-man muscles...

Hey everyone,

I would like to know was the standard clutch in the EL Falcon known for being a heavy bastard? I have one, and it is. I have gotten used to it, but the only car I have driven with a clutch heavier was on a rooted Camira that a mate had.

No joke, anyone else who drives my car comments on it being heavy, how should it feel? I've never driven any other manual falcons, so I cannot compare.

well mate Id have to say that if its getting really heavy its on its way out,.
I had a centreforce in my car which finally had the dick & replaced it with a H/D Valeo unit & the difference is amazing, Im to the point that my foot is going to go thru the firewall its that light.
Try disconnecting the cable & see if that is smooth, otherwise the clutch could be on its way out.
