Question about Clutches

Tell me if I should go to the Tracker Forum or can I ask it here?
I am so used to this particular forum and you folks I know.

My wife's '93 Tracker's clutch has a "Click" to it. Didn't used to....

The pedal pushes hard and then when almost all the way in, sort of
releases like a "click" and becomes easier.

Would this likely be the clutch mechanism inside the Transmission or would
it be something worn on the foot pedal mechanism and/or cable?

would check the cable first. sometimes the cable inside the sheath starts to fray and pedal get stiffer. would unhook it and push cable in and out with fingers and see how it feels. when you do this though it may unhook itself under the dash and it takes a bit of work to hook it back up again

yeah, sounds like a cable to me. check it out - you don't want it snapping in service =)

Sounds like time to take it to a Shop and let some other poor bugger work on it.

My wife's beloved Tracker....note the Gawd Awful color!

It is not fit for man nor beast outside, I have a code-in-my-node, and am too
damned old to be bending and twisting my sore old bones under the dash of
my wife's Tracker and cutting my hands on frayed cables.

I'll take it to a shop I know and get my wallet pillaged by the Automotive Vikings.
