All of a sudden my clutch went from totally normal to very hard to press down. It’s now been this way for quite a long time. It’s a hydraulic clutch (clutch was replaced by a shop a few months prior to the issue, but me and the shop…did not get along.) in an 06 tribute with a 4 cylinder motor.

Looking for what I’ll need done in order to not have to break my leg to shift the thing. Thanks.

I figure it’s something the shop didn’t do correctly, as it was supposed to have new flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disc, pilot bearing and throw-out bearing but there’s no way to verify they replaced it all or did it correctly and the problem started suddenly about 3 months later.

    It is possible that you have a broken clutch finger. If the shop did a poor job installing the clutch. They could have done some damage to the pressure plate. That could lead to premature failure of the fingers. The only solution though is a new clutch.
