Check the service bulletin about this problem. It tells you to take out
either the engine or the transmission and lubricate the input shaft spline
to the transmission.

Subject: Low clutch pedal
How much "travel" should there be when pushing on the pedal, before the
clutch engages/disengages? The QSW seems to have a low clutch pedal
(i.e. it engages about halfway down... or is that halfway up??
Whatever...).
Is this normal? If not, what should I consider? Do I need a new clutch
master cylinder? Do I need a new clutch? Does the existing clutch need
adjustment (if that's possible... forgive my ignorance, I've been
driving slushboxes my whole life!!).
FWIW, a new slave cylinder was installed a little while ago, and the
system was bled (i.e. cross those two possibilites off the list). When
it was installed, it did seem to bring the pedal up a little bit (yes,
it was slightly worse than it is now).
As always, your thoughts, suggestions, BTDTs, hints, tips, tricks,
etc.... are appreciated.
Happy Holidays to all!!
