If its just the pedal thats acting up then its knackered, new one from renault.
If the actual clutch iself is dragging and allowing lots of slip when the pedal jams then the splines on the input shaft may be covered in crap or the cable may be frayed internally and jamming. |

it only jams for a few secs chris ,and its about 1 cm or so and it releases . cant really tell if the clutch is slipping excessively . can it not be a sticky clutch cable ?? is there anywhere i can apply some wd40? |

try it, spray wd4-0 at the gearbox end and get someone to press the clutch pedal, you need to pull the inner so the pedal comes back up. In fact doing just that, pulling the cable after th epedals been pressed will tell you if the cables sticking |
