[Tigers] Stiff Clutch

[Tony Somebody]

Jay, since 1972, Ive owned and own several Tigers and bought from Hayes to
Centerforce(the middle of the 3 available) and Ive never had a stiff pedal
that I recall. Im taking for granted you have checked to make sure Dad didn
add a heavy return spring to the syestem. Otherwise I too am interested in
others thoughts. I think with the right bellhousing a larger flywheel and
clutch can be fitted BUT thats only a thought in my mind- not proven and
again, the only way I would think its would be so hard to depress- perhaps he
has a full race clutch and pressure plate??? Looking forward to the race Tiger
responses.

I have a question about my dad's clutch.  I have to say, it is the firmest
clutch I've ever pressed.  I get used to it after driving for a few days or
weeks.  But, it really is crazy stiff.  So stiff that I can't believe it is
good for the clutch pedal pivot points.  (and just to be clear, I used to
race
bicycles and ride around looking for the steepest hills I could climb, and
still ride.  So my legs are in no way wimpy!)

I have no idea what clutch is in there.  Or what combination of master/slave
there is.  I believe they look like stock hydraulics.

Is this something I should consider/look into?  Any pointers about it?

Thanks,
