So... i went to go to lunch today, press down my clutch pedal, it's a littler harder to press and makes a "rubbing sound" - i can "feel" it resisting/rubbing - what should i check?

 

first tings first with the car off and on flat ground check that the brake fluid is to the FULL line.

If you can, have someone slowly press the clutch pedal as you watch the brakes fluid level. Make sure there are no bubbles. (usually means a softer pedal but you never know)

crawl under neath the dash and inspect the pivot hinge where the pedal mounts to the bracket. Make sure it addequately lubed. If not a few shots of white lithium grease or silicone spray will do wonders. (wd40 in a pinch)

worst case scenario it could be your throwout lever siezing or binding. do the other stuff first.

 

brakes fluid should be at full (filled it when i changed the brakes out) - will check for bubbles...

matty to the rescue as usual

 

ok.. this is wierd, i get off work, no noise/rubbing, smooth operation.. hmm.
