Hardest Clutch Ever Help!

Got my SVX back, it runs, it's now a 5 speed, but the clutch is hard to press. Has anyone had this problem?

What clutch was used in it? Different ones have different pedal pressures based on holding pressure and spring design.

Cable or hydraulic?

It's a cable clutch.

It could be a rusty cable, or the cable could be installed in a way that it is bent more than it should.

^^^ exactly, the cable could be too tight of an angle or kinked, or possibly clamped between something. This why I will always go with hydraulic clutches in subarus, the parts are so available and they work so well.
