sticky stiff clutch problem

When you did the clutch job, did you actually grease that T.O. bearing spindle liberally? Not doing so is a mistake that some mechanics will overlook.
Also, spraying WD-40 in there is a bad thing. You are "rinsing" off whatever grease is in there and eventually, you'll wash it all off. The trouble with spraying stuff in there without being able to direct where it's going is that you can cover surfaces that should not be covered at all.

I have teh same problem... so it seems. is it more noticable at lower rpms and driving speeds for you guys aswell? When I open it up on the highway and shift at high or redline rpm into 5th or 6th, its not that noticable. trying to relate here 
I was thinking there is a lack of grease on the input shaft aswell. that was my first intuition when i bought the car.....

Since I ain't no expert nor mechanic - when you guys say spray whatever wherever, is the wherever a place one can reach with the tranny in place and the car not up on a ramp? i.e. is this a (dumb) user serviceable part for the quick fix?

You have to get under the car to do this, and remove the slave cyl.
Do not spray anything in there. Use a small paint brush with some wheel bearing grease to lube the contact points.

Wow... realizing now that it's not just my own problem... had a complete clutch change 2 months ago... clutch real loose and simple after the change... now starting to tightening up with AGAIN... is this a design problem? Wondering if anyone knows a permanent fix? Would changing any racing clutch solve the problem?

i have the EXACT same problem... any solutions?
I really hope the proper lube job is the cure to this. Otherwise, I wonder if an aftermarket clutch will be the permanent fix or is this a fundamental design thing that will occur with any clutch? When it is sticky, smooth shifting at low speeds and balancing are near impossible.
