So I got the car back today, all replaced. They did the pressure plate, disc and throwout bearing - plus an oil change. Total (with an oil change) was $1036.
On a happier note, my car's clutch hasn't felt this nice - even when it was new!
Robb,
This fixed my stiff-clutch issue. You could press my clutch with a piece of paper now.

that I had driven.

Anyone have any idea of what could have been happening? The symptom was that my clutch pedal was very stiff to push in (felt like there was a heavy spring attached to the pedal).

Hey Justin.
Give it a little time to break in. The clutch - however it feels now - could feel very differently couple hundred miles later. Even engagement point could change. These happen even after a clutch fluid flush, much less a full clutch replacement. So...just wait a little and see. If you still don't like the engagement point then, there's play in it.
