what will cause a clutch pedal to go stiff all the sudden. it feels like im about to break something everything i push down on it. i can get into all the gears fine and also shift into them with any problems. also if i slightly put my foot on the pedal. i can feel it shaking my whole leg.
my clutch setup is
act extreme pressure plate with about 20k miles
CC 6puck disc with like 10k miles

i had the same thing happen to my audi 100s. the clutch was smoked. did it stick to the floor by any chance??

Someone has played a sick joke on you and swapped out your clutch kit for a much more agressive one. F*CK theives.

Actually, have you recently bled your clutch?
Were the clutch components new when you installed them? or used?
Do you notice anything different when driving? besides the fact that its harder to press in

ouch, never heard of that happening.
How would you go about fixing it?
From my understanding, its part of the actual transmission, like its shape, so its not like another can be screwed in, as far as i know. I could be wrong tho.
