'Sticktion' on cluch pedal.

[Cupra Kid]

I have the exact same problem with a new clutch cable and clutch. But it starts about 15 mins into driving. Might take the cable out and spray some silicone spray down into the cable. Is just annoying.

Mines the same, i am thinking about making some tiny holes along the cable, shooting grease in then patching the holes.

I tried lubing mine up this weekend, put it back in and 15 mins into driving it started again. I might phone up the guy who did my clutch and ask him whats going on. Is very annoying.

My mechanic gave the car a good look over yesterday and said he didn't think the clutch felt bad. He said that as I have been driving newer Volvos for years, I have got used to a very smooth hydraulic clutch. Anyway, I seem to be getting used to it.

Quicker changes make it smoother, i find that after a decent blast mine is very different. Theres a spring on the back of the clutch pedal if this is worn it would give a staged effect to the clutch

Ok so i just went for a drive, after staying in 5th for about 10 mins i found that the clutch went back to normal with no sticktion effect then when i used the clutch again it came back. I have checked everything, the spring, the cable and the pedal. I dunno what it is :<

These cars are notorious for the sticky clutch syndrome

So who is going to post the simple and cheap solution and give us all the silky clutch action we are all hankering after?

I just had a brand new one, my problem seems to be coming from the lever that operates the clutch. Needs some lubing up.

People above have reported that clutch and cable change has not solved the problem.

My car had a new clutch about 15k ago with a careful driver, so I think it should be alright.

I'm going to investigate the pedal joint and spring, see if lube or replacement helps.
