That is correct....BUT..as quoted in a previous post my clutch is sometimes light and then after a longish drive it appears heavy,most times first thing it is again light and then sometimes it is heavy.If as you say it alters as the clutch wears why does my clutch differ from one day to another.

I will give it a flush asap and see if it makes a difference.
