toyota avensis t25 1cd-ftv - Toyota Avensis stiff heavy clutch d4d 2004 145k - VEC786

Hello people.

Lovely car but...

has a very hard clutch to press.

I have so far changed clutch master clyinder, fluid, and slave clylinder; bleed properly too.

It has made it lighter but still on the heavy side.

Every mechanic I go to advises it needs a new clutch, but what about if I put a new clutch and its the same.

Goes in gear fine does not slip.

I know alot of these are used as taxi's surely they cannot put up with a heavy clutch during long shifts.

any advice will taken onboard.

Has it always been stiff or has it recently become stiff?
