the plastic lining on the clutch cable has pronbley split and dirty has got in;

If you replace the cable it will all be fine!

Just did it to mine and i have to learn to drive again! light clutches are sooo different!

Put a bigger spring on the accelerator pedal! Than will soon even them out.

it may have a sports clutch.......? they are commonly heavier to push as the springs on them are harder as they apply more pressure to the clutch plate
