#1 Clutch

Post by spanish 2+2 » Tue Feb 23, 2016 1:44 pm

Hi all, the biting point on my clutch is nearly at the top of the pedal movement. I've been told it is on E Types. Can it be adjusted? I've also heard that the clutch-life is around 20 000 miles! My clutch is not slipping but I've done well over 20 000 on mine. Do you think it's time for a new one?

Also check the slave cylinder con rod, as i seem to remember reading they can be different lengths, thus affecting the biting point.
