clutch pedal stiff on a valver

[6secClio]

now i have just been told by the garage that its stiffer then most clios but it could be because the clutch is old and worn and needing excessive pressure to use hence the snapped cable

is this true

and its the second time the cables gone in a yr appearently

 

[Smokey]

There extremely heavy because of the way the cable is routed around the engine

valver clutches are stiff anyway but they get worse when there routed the wrong way round the engine bay, if the cables snap regular theyve been routed wrongly
