“2003 1000DS, the clutch suddenly became stiff and feels like it’s binding. I noticed that in neutral, when I pull the lever, the pressure plate stops immediately (normally, if you pull the clutch in neutral, the pressure plate separates from the pack and keeps spinning on its own for a few seconds).
This makes me think it could be the pressure plate bearing.
I removed the pressure plate, but the bearing spins freely and doesn’t seem to have any play.
Clutch basket and plate pack have about 3000 km on them.
With the engine off, there’s no issue. Master cylinder at the lever and the slave cylinder down below feel good with no binding with engine off...
