Default WRX clutch - are they normally high ??

Guys first scooby here and loving it !!! - 2005 wrx blobeye - just one thing, is it normal for the clutch to be so high ?? I know every car / make off car can be different different and its possibly just something that is normal with the wrx but just wonder if it is normal for there to be so much travel before the biting point ??

No, it's probably wearing out.

Only has 31k on the clock, could it be worn at such a mileage ?? just wondered if it was possibly just how the clutch on the wrx actually is, can they be adjusted ??

31k is early so may have had a hard life and you can't adjust them Doesn't mean it's been abused it could have been ridden

I have a 2.5 WRX 2006, had it from new and the clutch has always been high. I questioned it when the car was new and I was told no adjustment was possible. It has not changed and the car has now covered 32000 miles.

I thought the clutch was supposed to be low when it's on it's way out.

Think you would be able to feel it slipping if it was really fooked however.

My clutch pedal biting point was high when i first bought my car, my head gasket went so i had to have the engine out, so although the original clutch had plenty of life left in it i decided to change the clutch for a uprated exedy one, and the biting point on the new clutch is just as high as the last one so i wouldn't worry about it if i were you mate.
