casspace Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I have a 05 Granite and the clutch pedal is very hard to push. Could it need a new cable? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30089-clutch-pedal/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
staxx Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Does it have the air asist , if it does the air cylinder could be worn and need replacing. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30089-clutch-pedal/#findComment-166680 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Shouldn't be air assist on an 05, might be a bent cable, best guess is lack of grease on the clutch fork and a heavy aftermarket clutch.

casspace Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Clutch has been replaced and its still hard to push. Got a new driver and he is complaining about it. It bothers me too. Any way of putting air assist on it or is it too much trouble.

rsb502 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Disconnect the cable from the clutch arm and pedal and operate it by hand, there should be some resistance but not much if you can move it by hand its ok. Make sure the clutch fork bushings and throwout bearing are greased and moving freely. Remove the inspection plate when you grease the throwout bearing and make sure the tube isn't cut and grease makes it to the bearing. What kind of clutch did you put in it? My 04 had a stiff clutch too, but i didn't use it unless I was taking off.
