Hi Folks,

I hope you’re all enjoying the weather :slightly_smiling_face:

The biting point of my clutch is pretty low. Not quite in the carpet as I’ve seen described here though.
Sometimes when I put it into first with my clutch fully to the floor, I can kind of feel a clunk through the pedal. Does this mean the clutch is not fully disengaged? Is this normal? Should I adjust the clutch pedal?

Thanks

You can have a little twiddle with that adjustment at the pedal, it does help in some cases. One half to full turn should bring an improvement, don’t over do it though.
Others have said a fluid change can help too, have a brake and clutch fluid change, the reservoir it’s a shared one for clutch/brake.

It is easy enough if you know how.
It took me (arthritic six footer) a while to find out, but now with the right tools and info it’s a ten minute job. See how in my link below.
