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.
