Mine is close to the top with 212 000 km on the original clutch.
Clutch bite point (again)
Hi all,
Newbie here, first post.
I decided to revisit my old hot hatch days and picked up a 54 plate Cooper S.
The clutch bite point is right down at the floor - I have to press the pedal to the bulkhead and the bite point is an inch or two above that.
I see that there are several threads on this subject about the internet, but I thought I'd ask again - everyone seems to consider that the bite point should be at the top of the pedal when the clutch is worn. I don't think the clutch on my car has been changed because it doesn't look as though any major work has been don e on the car.
What is going on to cause the bite point to be at the bottom of the pedal travel? We're going to investigate the hydraulics but the pedal does feel 'right' and consistent and the bite point never changes though pumping the pedal or anything like that.
Can anyone shed light please, on why the clutch bite point is right down near the floor?
Many thanks.
