 My JH5 sat for some time while I upgraded to Dellortos.  With those complete, the car is back on the road, but now there's something not quite right with the clutch.

When pressing and releasing the clutch pedal, it feels as if it were a hydraulic clutch filled with molasses.  It's hard to push the pedal, and then it's slow to return.  So slow in fact, that my foot practically comes off the pedal completely while I await the pedal to catch-up to my foot motion.

The clutch does disengage the gears, but it's very difficult to drive smoothly.   The gears shift fine.

From the outside, I can't see or feel anything amiss with the clutch fork.

Does this sound like I need a new clutch or throw-out bearing?
