Is there any way of adjusting it?
I've fitted today the main cylinder repair kit and the biting point is too high so I'd like to adjust it.

Just a small PS what is the most proper shifter from the z3?
I've seen an article about it somewhere but I can't find it :s

Theres no adjustment that i know of on the BMW hydraulic clutch.

If you click on the Articles page there was a short shifter guide on there but i've not looked for ages.

more than likely master was on its last legs and the extra pressure required to free clutch plate has caused the master to give up....was the case with mine...left leg is getting quite strong now :crutch:

so basically the clutch isnt adjustable to compensate for clutch wear......is it dragging(difficult to get 1st or rev on a cold morning)if so clutch will need renewal shortly...
