Someone suggested it was due to extra heavy lube. I don't think so (why
would the lube suddenly get thicker?). I think it's a failing throw-out
bearing. The same thing happened on my motorcycle. The throw-out bearing
is only engaged when the clutch pedal is pressed, and it's supposed to be
frictionless. When it fails, the friction slows down the output shaft.
