The diesel 75 clutch is generally quite heavy, might just take a bit of getting used to!

It's the only thing keeping my girlfriend from buying a 75 - she loves the cars, but wants a manual diesel, and every one we've tried has a clutch that she finds a bit too heavy for her to be comfortable with. I'm slowly convincing her of the merits of an auto.

As long as it goes into gear fine and there's no slip, I wouldn't worry.
