1988 bmw 735i. Why when driving in the inner city and using clutch frequently, clutch and brake pedal become tighter and clutch loses pickup power then wheels slow and cease moving.

- wheels lock up. when car cools down wheels move. had mechanic open line between master cylinder and abs unit then wheels became free, but still same problem.

brake lockup. due to tight torance from the brake padle to the master boot. loosen the nut on push rod behind the brake padle and decrease the rod travel.
as far as the clutch, you may have the same problem.
do a serach in the Internet for the tolerance. usually is 1/8 to 1/4"
