Clutch Engagement is High

I drove my car around the other day and noticed that the clutch does not engage until the pedal is almost completely released out. I seem to be reading that there is no adjusment, true? Is the clutch simply on its last days?

I only ask because I never noticed this in the past 5 years so I thought it changed over winter or something. BUt I also recently bought another car and maybe I am just losing my reference point between the two.

Re: Clutch Engagement is High

If the clutch is hydraulic, it is not adjustable. A hydraulic clutch that has air in the lines will either not release at all or only release when fully depressed and then will engage very close to the floor. A hydraulic clutch that releases close to the top is worn out.
