Stiff Clutch

I recently purchased a 1988 Ford Ranger 2.9L 5 speed manual transmission with a heavy duty clutch. I believe it has the Mazda transmission. The truck drives and shifts great. There is no creap when the clutch pedal is depressed. However, the clutch pedal seems very stiff. Is this something I should be concerned with. I have checked the fluid level in the hydraulic reservoir it 's full. I can see no leaks by the master hydraulic pump. There is no visible leakage from the slave hydraulic pump or transmission. Is there something else I should check? Thanks
