Will have a look at the timing, too.The clutch with this car has a long history. My mother always had problems with it. All this might be related to the heavy pedal feel and/or possible flywheel problem somehow:My mother bought the car new in 95. She is relatively short and pushing full out the clutch pedal was sort of difficult for her, so I imagine she used it often not fully disengaging the clutch when shifting. Over time the clutch developed a chirping sound when the clutch was engaged (pedal not pushed). Mechanics said it was the throwout bearing, so we replaced that. The sound disappeared, but with time it came back. So the clutch and another TOB was replaced. Then 5 years ago another clutch. Now is the 3rd clutch and the car only has 56k miles.  I have a spare TOB on the shelf. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />The pedal feel was always kinda heavy, but I think it was a bit lighter in the past. Anyways I have the new quadrant, FW-adjuster and cable already, just waiting that I have time to install them.Could this be that such use over the years wore down the flywheel after just 57k miles?</blockquote>
