My clutch has just gone weird on me . As i press the pedal it feels like there is more resistance than usual and after driving about for a couple of miles or so ,the pedal seems as if it is sticking and not coming back up properly then as i give it a couple more presses to try to get it moving it goes solid with no travel. i have to knock it out of gear then i can get it moving again ,then the cycle starts again.
is it likely to be the clutch itself or some sort of hydrolic problem . Its a cooper ,verto type.
Not sure what to check first. Can anyone help please.

sounds like a hydrolic problem to me

give the slide on the end of the bell housing a very liberous spray of wd40 or penetrating oil and the pivots on the arm let it soak in for 5 mins then pump the clutch a few times then another good spay up and it should be fine
