    I have hard and stiff clutch now because the PO of my car had the clutch replace with the pressure plate from the Daytona V12. I had the car for ten years now and frankly, I've gotten use to it.

    Are you aware of Ferrari's recommended fix / mod for the early clutches?

    My stiff clutch was because the release bearing was fitted dry and had eventually made a ridge on the input shaft....rubbing down input shaft to remove trhe ridge was only cure

    Unfortunately I dont have any pics

    There is another cause of stiff clutch on RHD cars but dont know if the OP has RHD as no profile.

    RHD cars have a cross-shaft with two bearings which can dry out.
