my manual transmission isuzu rodeo's problem is that when the car is been driving longer than 20 miles, the clutch pedals feels hard to step on whn shifting and if i would continue to drive, the car wont go faster than 30 mph and the rpm revs up to 4. i tried bleeding the clutch fluid and it will work for couple of miles and the clutch will go back to its previous stage. please help.

Hi there,

I would say you may have a faulty pressure plate, this actually pivots the diaphragm to operate this pivot ring may be seizing up, this guide can help us fix it.This sounds like the clutch disc is falling apart not allowing the clutch disc to spin "free" but to be sure let go over these videos and guide to help us fix the problem.
