Stiff Clutch Pedal

I have a 2k1 with 57k miles and I noticed that my clutch pedal when depress is very stiff! The clutch pedal feels fine when I first start driving but as soon as I start driving more the pedal starts getting very stiff. Also, I hear a slight grinding/squeaking noise when I fully depress the clutch. I took the car to a mechanic but they couldn't find anything wrong with it.

Any ideas what the problem could be? Will flushing the Clutch fluid reservoir do anything?

Thanks in advance,
DC

I had this same issue. You need to lube the ball under the hood. There is a rubber peice over it, take that off and add some high-temp lube.

Igor911 thanks for reply.

Where exactly is this "ball" located? How do I get to it?
