Cluth Gets Tight -- Question
I have a '03 C5 MN6. If I take it through the gears I notice my clutch pedal gets tighter and there is more resistance than in normal driving conditions. I am not very familiar with a hydraulic clutch so I am asking does anyone have an explanation ??
Thanks for your thoughts.

this is what mine started doing. if it hasnt stuck to the floor yet it soon will. there are at least a thousand posts on here about the sticking pedal problem. maybe you will get lucky with a good fluid flush. search, ranger method. good luck!

The place to start reading.
On the C5, for the initial clean-up, you can dispense with the pedal pumps and instead just change the content of the reservoir each time you drive the car. Keep at it until you've gone through two 12-ounce cans of fresh DOT-4 brake fluid. That's about 12 swaps.
Once the clutch fluid is clean, you'll have a better idea whether or not there is any further issue.
