Hi guys

Well.. Ever since I got my GQ it's had a really heavy clutch. I remember researching back then and found that bleeding it would help but I was just wondering if there's anything else it could be?
I also replaced the clutch about 4 months ago so it's pretty much brand new - but still had the same problem.
It's starting to really pee me off. I'm getting into 4WDing a bit more than when I first started, so when someone's yelling at me to "Snap to third, SNAP TO THIRD!!!!!" and all you here is ..... <CRUNCH>
You can imagine it gets pretty annoying so any help would be great.

A lot of GQ's came out with power assisted clutch's however some did not... If yours didn't one can be fitted (Not much to them) or yours may well have one but the booster is shaged.

What are you like with your under bonnet knowledge ie: what parts are what?

Thanks Bob hopefully someone will have a look for me.

Ahh I see, yeah that might be the issue then. I'm not great with mechanical knowledge.. Obviously, otherwise it'd probably be fixed by now :P
