Clutch travel??


Rooste

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if there is a big difference in clutch travel during the lifetime of the clutch. Have test drove a couple on 350s which both seemed to bite at about halfway, so just wanted to know if you get any indication before it gives way? Planning looking at a few this weekend.

The clutch itself no, there won't be any difference as it's the friction plate that gets worn rather than anything you'd feel pressure on. The only clue you'll get is slipping when you apply power.

 

The clutch pedal itself is adjustable I believe, however different pedal heights between cars and the biting point could be down to worn master or slave cylinders, worn clutch lines or old clutch fluid.

 

 

Have a read of this page which should give you a better idea of how the whole shebang works (it was a godsend to me when I had my recent clutch troubles!). Apologies if that's teaching you how to suck eggs though.
