Triumph Herald 13/60 Stiff Clutch - Please Help

Recommended Posts

Im 18, and finally saved up enough money to purchase a Triumph Herald (My Dream Car), I have very little mechanical experience and I really hope this will kickstart my Mechanical knowledge so in the future I can do work on the car and hopefully more classic cars in the future. The car starts every time and has not rattle whatsoever although I now think it has an issue. Until I have sorted out insurance I have only been driving the car up and down a private road. The clutch has suddenly become really stiff although gear change is still possible. Also whilst coming to a stop the engine becomes much louder when the clutch pedal is touched? Is this usual or do I have an issue? Please Help, any advice is greatly appreciated - Thanks Henry

Would you say the pedal travels further now than previously?

Hi Bill, no I would say that the pedal is a lot stiffer and has a lot more of a restricted movement. As mentionedalthough I am still able to change gear it is making a worrying sound increase (the engine) when the clutch is pushed in as mentioned above. Thanks Henry
