I just got a 03 GT and noticed that the clutch is hard to push in. Ive owned a 99 and a 01 in the past and neither felt this stiff. The car only has 23k on it and my mom actually has a 03, and her clutch is not as stiff to push in. Is there something that needs to be lubricated or is it normal on some cars?

first check the clutch cable.

the most common causes of this concern are the clutch fork and pivot ball or the cable.

I would just replace the whole cable assembly. Steeda makes an adjustable firewall quadrant, and cable kit for about $100.00. Don't buy a UPR kit, I had one and it broke

Possibly there was an aftermarket heavy duty clutch put in the car that you may not know about?

Well how does the car feel when you drive it? Like where does the clutch connect at... But i would think after 23k the calbe SHOULD be ok, and the clutch shouldnt be shot.. but a few things to check.. lol..
