back from the mechanics.

there was a "point" indeed at the slave cylinder push rod - i wasn;t expecting to see it at just 54,000km.
anyway - we grinded it, put some green urea grease on it and on a tip of fork's up jaw (we couldn't reach a tip of the lower one).

clutch pedal now is smooth as a butter - unbelievable !!!
but my problem didn't dissappear completely

clutch is not slipping.

but under load the pedal has this "notch" at initial press

any additional ideas where to look?

driving more now i understand that my clutch is sticky.

no leaks at master and slave cylinders.

it's stickyng only at high rpms shift.

i guess that thrust bearing should be regreased - but it doesn't make any sense to pull out transmission just for this.

any damage can be done driving lik this?

any other solution that i'm missing?

Pull slave.

grind point off of pushrod.

grease and re-install.

My car's clutch pedal would stick at the bottom and i fixed it by grinding that point off.
