Clutch Biting point at the end of the pedal. Should i be worried? (Clio 1.2 2005)

I've had a high Biting point on my clutch for a while now. Not sure if i should be worried?
It's a 1.2 clio 2005 year. Around 75,000 miles
I'm a bit of a car hypochondriac. So every bump and unusual noise I tend to notice it but this high clutch Bite has been like it for over a year.
Not sure if its normal or not?

perfectly normal

I wouldn’t do anything until it starts slipping. My missus Tucson has 70,000 and that had a high biting point. We had the clutch changed when it also went in for gearbox synchros and the old clutch was in good condition.

Normal, run it until it slips

Thank you guys. What does it mean when it slips? What do I look out for?

You’ll notice the engine RPMs rising without a corresponding increase in vehicle speed. Usually when the engine is under load.

Sorry first part of your question. Slipping is when the friction material on the clutch disc wears down. When it becomes too thin, it can no longer grip the flywheel effectively, causing it to slip.

Adam Gears is the perfect name in this situation. You eventually won’t be able to select any 😂
