[dazleeds]

as above clutch isnt biting until pedal nearly ll the way up

no slip etc and gearchange is extremely smooth

or is it clutch time??

I think its a ne wclutch needed mate I had the smae thing with another motor a few years back, I always forgot they normally self adjust

[Brianmoooore]

There's no adjustment, but air in the system would raise the bite point.
Try renewing/bleeding the fluid.

In at the resevoir, out at the bleed nipple on the slave. Same as brakes.
