   Possibly could be that your gearbox oil is not in good shape? Or worn linkages?
   
   Hopefully nothing else too serious.

   I'd go more with Linkages but as said also get your gearbox oil checked!

   The clutch on saxo's are renowned for being heavy. Its probally not your clutch. Just try slipping your clutch and if you feel no power when you slip it then its gone, but i would bet you its the clutch cable has stretched and would need re-adjusting. Mine's doing this too but getting it sorted out soon.
