On our P5 five-speed with the 2.0 non-turbo engine, the clutch pedal doesn't feel very good. The previous owner had the clutch replaced about 25k miles ago. The car has 260k miles on it.
The clutch pedal is generally hard to push as compared to my other vehicles. But the biggest concern is that after pressing the clutch pedal down, it gets even harder to press near the end and reach the disengagement point so you can shift gears easily. It's really wearing my left leg out. I replaced and bled the clutch slave cylinder yesterday because the bleeder was frozen on the old one and I wanted to bleed fluid. I'm not sure when the clutch master cylinder was replaced, if ever.
Any ideas on how to improve the situation? I read a little bit about the pedal adjustment procedure, but have not done anything yet. Would a worn clutch master cylinder make it hard to press the clutch pedal, especially near the disengagement point?
