Evening all. I noticed while out on a drive today that pushing the clutch pedal on my 07 Vantage was not as smooth as usual. At first I thought my shoe was occasional catching on the clutch rest but on closer scrutiny it appears to be the movement of the pedal itself.

Any ideas? I should say that apart from the notchy feel he clutch is otherwise works fine and normally.

Check brake / clutch fluid reservoir. Probably needs bleeding. Very simple process.. If you plan to tackle on your own there's a few threads around with good instructions. I've improved the pedal feel in both my DB9 as well as my DBS by bleeding the clutch. I'd say that is a good place for you to start. Good luck!

Thanks for that. Do you think that could cause what I can only describe as an occasional bump when pushing or releasing the clutch about a third of the way down?

I'd be surprised if it was anything more serious then that. I actually sprayed a little lube up on the spring at the pivot point of my clutch pedal in my DB9 because it was feeling a bit sticky and sure enough it really helped! It pivots and is a mechanical part with a return spring attached.. It needed a little bit of lubrication. It's worth a try..?
