Whenever I drive for a while and **** alot, my clutch gets really stiff and almost impossible to push in. If I turn the car off, I wont be able to push the clutch back in when I turn the car back on. I have a King Cobra clutch and when I installed it about a month ago, I did replace the throwout bearing. I'm not sure what is causing this problem. Any suggestions?

What condition is your cable in? Is it routed correctly?

Yeah, sounds like a clutch cable issue to me. Check to see that it's not binding anywhere.

Maybe you shouldn't take a s h i t in your car and it will treat you better! Anyways, it sounds like a clutch cable binding.

On mine, in light of getting it replaced soon, I drilled a small hole in the sheath on the cable near the top and lubed her up, and it worked great, but it is starting to get hard again so it is def time for a replacement. It's worked for about a month now though.

check the routing of the cable - too close to the exhaust and it cooks them.
good luck.
