Hi sunny123654,

When clutch pedal is heavy, it usually requires removal of the transmission to rectify.

Possible causes are :
1. Lack of lubrications on levers and linkages.
2. Worn clutch fork and bearing seats.
3. Worn clutch assy. However since biting point is low, this might not be the case unless the master cylinder and pedal height adjustment are out.
