Question

Can the clutch on my MY99 be adjusted in any way, because the biting point is less than an inch when the clutch is pressed?
This is now starting to give me grief because I'm tending to slip the clutch more

Cheers,

Rob.

Unhappy

Sounds like the clutch is on its way out.
Its not adjustable its hydraulic..
If its biting less than an inch from the top the centre plate is worn!!!!
Hence the slipping
If its biting at the bottom the clutch will start to drag(the pressure plates worn).
Either way it looks like a new clutch is needed......sorry
P.S get a mechanic to have a look
Cheers

Cool

Thanks Darren,

The clutch is definitely not slipping with the clutch fully out, but it can get tricky when trying to keep you heel on the floor and lifting up the clutch while reversing
I was in the process of trying to get my clutch replaced because of a slight judder when cold, but now the weathers warmer and it looks like IM are not replacing anymore because its a "characteristic" of the car I could be shafted.

I suppose the AP racing clutch would be the way forward if my clutch decides to give way?

Cheers,

Rob.
