JohnW's question is important. The bushings are nylon and do not like to be lubricated with any grease or spray. You can rebuild the pedal rack yourself with brass bushings you can purchase from Pelican - very highly recommended and you will be AMAZED at the feather-light pedal action you can achieve.

One note: ask your wrench if they replaced the bushing in which the trunnion pin/clutch cable rides. This bush, when it goes bad, causes the trunnion pin to ride directly on the metal of the clutch pedal "ear" in the tunnel. When that happens, the effect is one of grinding and resistance. If you need to, simply print this out and show it to the tech.- he'll know and be able to tell you what he found when he was in there.

Finally, do adjust the clutch cable - it is easy to do and will give you confidence about what's under there.
