Have searched afew threads but no real answers - the biting point of my clutch is very high i.e. the pedal has to come almost all the way up from the floor to reach the biting point, then a small amount of travel means the clutch pedal is fully released.

I don't notice any slip on acceleration and get judder only for the first 2 mins when cold.

What are the signs that the clutch is wearing out...

The car is a UK95 with 114,000 miles, the clutch was replaced at 78,000 miles with a partial engine re-build, therefore currently 36,000 miles old.

Thanks
Paul

Mine had the same symptons & did eventually start sliping, Let it develop (start slipping) then get it changed, Just don't leave it slipping for to long as flywheel damage may occur.
