A couple things to consider... First, this could be the signs of: Bad
clutch master, bad slave cylinder, clutch in need of a bleed. I'd do those
items first. IME, a "hard" clutch is usually the result of worn out pressure
plate or clutch springs. In which case, 120k isn't *that* abnormal. It
really depends on how and who has been driving it. In my shop, I've seen
clutches go 200k mi or 75k mi, and everywhere inbetween. Teach a couple
people how to drive "stick" can be enough to chop the mileage down
significantly.
Do a clutch system bleed first, then do clutch master and slave. If none of
this helps, at least you've just made the clutch R&R less costly.
