Default CLUTCH ISSUE.....

Good morning,
I have a heavy duty clutch and not sure when it was installed. But my car is getting stuck in the gears every now and then could that be a clutch going bad....???

No sounds more like the clutch cable needs to have some slack taken out of it. The clutch is not fully disengaging.

You have to push the pedal down and then hold the quadrent from moving with a screw driver or something then slowly lift the pedal up and you will hear it click. 1 click at a time until you can easily bring the car into and out of gear easily. If you take out to much slack it can cause the clutch to slip so 1 click at a time until you get it where it needs to be. Usually 1 or 2 clicks is all you need.
