The pressure you feel in the clutch pedal is the spring resistance of the pressure plate, transmitted through the hydraulics in the slave cylinder and master cylinder. I would be more concerned about low resistance in the pedal, as a bad pressure plate than high resistance being a bad pressure plate. Chattering as you release the clutch pedal or RPM varriations as you push the gas or that brunt acidic smell after spirited acceleration are a bad clutch symthoms.

My current and last 2 trucks had softer clutch pedals than either clucth in my Boxster and any other one I have driven. The same statemant is true for my wifes last and current car.

I haven't had an automatic car or truck in the 43 years I have driven.
