Stiff Clutch

I have a 93 F350 turbo with a 5 speed and the clutch is very hard to push in. The operation is fine. Is there any kind of mod to make it better or do i have to live with this?

I had the same problem in my 89 but it was becuase of broken pedal assembly and the clutch is just flat out stiff, no way around it except LUK I guess.

i had a broken input cone before from worn out input shaft bearings,it made the through out bearing hang up on the cone,making the clutch very hard to push.
