Clutch biting point

[Dj Marky MarK]

On mine (it might be the same with most Clio's) the biting point is allll the way up at the top, so in other words, to engage the gear when you've pressed it down you've got to release the clutch nearly to the top before the gear kicks in.

It's just a bit annoying. Would prefer the biting point to be much lower.

Is there a quick fix to change it?

Taaa

.... take that as a no then.

sounds worn to me. whats the mileage?

 

[Dj Marky MarK]

Less than 36K

Shouldn't be worn after thatn?!?

 

[rory182]

depends on how its been driven really, probably possible to adjust the clutch cable to alter the biting point though.

 

[Dj Marky MarK]

I think it's more a clutch cable adjustment...

Anyone know how to do that?

Mine is really high also, was on my previous Clio too, think it's just a Clio thing !

 

[Dj Marky MarK]

I got into a Volvo (on it the biting point is right at the bottom) the other day and nearly launched into another car.

I'm no mechanic but could it be the rachet on the clutch pedal that needs adjusting, or maybe as already has been said maybe its just worn.

Yeah I think it's high to start with , every one I've drove has it high. You can get it adjusted though as far as I know.

Yeah you have to bring my clutch on me clio right up as well, mine has done bang on 33000miles, and on my brothers clio which is a bit older you have to bring the clutch right up aswell so its just how Clios are I think.

Its the same as mine, I passed 3 months ago and my driving instructors was at the bottom, now I have a clio its at the top, I cant seem to get used to it......

I am going to see if I can get it adjusted......

iv had 2 mk1 clios nwo and this is the same aswell. wen i drove my aunts escort i kept crunching her gears lol

 

[Blue4Ever]

^^ Yeah, I find it fairly good, got used to it straight away and it allows quick changes.

my current clutch has only done 1,500 miles and my bite point is quite far down.

the clutch cables adjust themselfs on MK2's not sure about other models but you can still manualy adjust them iirc.
