Default Clutch wear

I need someone to help me understand how this works. As the clutch wears, what happens to the point in pedal travel where it begins to engage? Does it get progressively higher in the pedal travel (mine seems high, and higher than it used to be) or do I have some sort of hydraulic problem?

Any comments would be appreciated!

Default RE: Clutch wear

the clutch is not hydraulic.

as it wears it will engage furthur and further from the floor.

also might not be fully engaging when out completely, could be why your wearing fast.

if it's stock, just pull up on the clutch pedal hard.

So if it's cable actuated, is it adjustable or self adjusting? BTW it does not show any signs of slippage in any gear or revs.

You adjust it by pulling up on the pedal. It'll click a few times if it is being tightened up.
