My clutch is really stiff. You'd struggle to pull it with 2 fingers. Seems to operate fine mechanically, but something isn't quite right.

So far I have made sure the lever moves freely, changed the clutch cable, and made sure the little arm thingamabob the clutch cable connects to under the front sprocket cover that pushes the pin in and out (deep breath!) moves smoothly. What should I be looking at next, oh wise ones? Pulling the clutch in sounds a tiny bit clunky down near the gearbox, so I suppose there is something amiss with the actual clutch. Any thoughts?
