Clutch feel heavier all of a sudden

For some reason, it feel like my clutch is getting heavier. Is this a sign of it going bad? Only has 20k on it.

mines fine at 24K - if I have to drive more in town it 'feels' heavier - changed your driving habits recently?

Re: Clutch feel heavier all of a sudden

Most likely your clutch cable is causing this. Mine got so bad I hated driving in stop & go traffic...the wife could not do it & the Ford service manager said it was bad. Only replace it with an OEM one & the problem most likely will disappear. All aftermarket ones are not the good quality.

The clutch cable could be going bad? How do I check this myself?
