I'm always surprised how much the clutch effort on these cars is
reduced by greasing the notorious clutch fork pivot, so I can imagine
that a rusty/galled one *might* create these symptoms.
The arm sticking out of the transaxle that the clutch slave
cylinder's pushrod pushes against--it pivots on a ball stud that's
been known to break. I'd check to see if it's binding there.

Subject: [alfa] Milano Clutch MC Replacement
My thanks to everyone who offered suggestions and encouragement when I
attempted to replace the Clutch Master Cylinder. I could not have done it
alone. FYI, I also replaced the slave at the same time. It was a unique
experience , including bleeding.
Now my new problem b the clutch pedal is very, very firm. I suspect a
problem with the clutch itself. Ibm concerned that if I drive the Milano in
this condition, Ibll eventually blow the Seals in MC due to high pressure in
the hydraulic circuit. I suspect that this caused the initial MC failure.
Has anyone else experienced a ultra firm pedal and what was the fix. Much
Thanks
