Check your clutch cable. Mine felt really stiff initially, but after the clutch cable failed and I installed a new one, pedal effort went down significantly. Now it's noticeably lighter than stock

x2, my old KC used to feel stiff, i used to have clutch cable problems. the last cable i got was a maximum motorsport, and i HIGHLY reccomend their cable. it made the KC feel the same as stock like it should maybe a tad softer. i tired crappy parts store cables, and a i had a FRPP cable for a year or so and it worked pretty good. but the MM is the best hands down.

i then since upgraded to a ram powergrip HD clutch, which is stiffer than a KC and its an awesome clutch, and the pedal effort is good and fairly easy for how much holding power the clutch has.

My king cobra was a bit stiffer than stock, using a brand new stock cable with a steeda billet quadrant and upr firewall adjuster. it chattered a little bit in the beginning but it seemed to break in a bit over time.

yep check your cable, it may be stretched or out of adjustment. I have installed three of them and they do not chatter but have run into problems with the cable. Like mentioned, a new firewall adjuster and quadrant also help greatly!

I took my first drive in a 5.0 ten years ago this year and i haven't even considered owning a Chevy since.
