clutch 'biting point'

[Brenner5]

my clutch biting point has become quite high now, i have to fully let go of the pedal for it to release

the clutch has never missed/slipped etc

the fluid is brown in the cylinder though

would i be looking at a new clutch soon..

It may be that the master and slave cylinders are worn - brown fluid could be just old and water laden, but if the bottom of the reservior is darker that could be metal particles.

You can adjust the biting point a bit inside the car where the pedal pushes the master cylinder rod - there is a concentric adjuster...

If it was me I'd replace the master and slave cylinders (together - always do both), clean the res and bleed and try again. If that doesn't cure it than you'll have to go I think for a new clutch + release bearing, and check the release fork while you do it.

Clutch is worn if it takes at the top. Dont adjust by the pedal, that is just for free-play, so there is no pressure on the clutch when released. HTH

the biting point is near the top bu not exactly at the top, there ddoesnt seem to be an issue with it slipping. its pulls like normal aswell

are there are worthwhile upgrades on the master and slave cylinders as i will be going for bigger brakes soon...
