On mine, there's a smallish (maybe 2" square) black plastic cover on the bellhousing that faces the front of the car. It snaps in place; you can squeeze the sides of it a bit and it should wiggle out. Using a focused flashlight, mag-light or equiv., have someone actuate the clutch and you should be able to see the movement of the clutch parts. I used some spray solvent (I think it was brake-clean) with an extension nozzle to first spray the input spline to remove any loose crud. You shouldn't have to worry about overspray with the solvent. Then do the same with an aerosol grease with a wand, being careful not to spray anywhere near the clutch disc. Again, my clutch is mechanical; the hyraulic ones may be different. Anyone know for sure?
I did this on my car at around 155,000 miles, and found it helpful in reducing excessive clutch pedal effort, as well as making it a bit easier to modulate the clutch during launch. The cable clutches tend to be fairly stiff when new, and only worsen with age/mileage.
