I’ve got just over 115k on my original (assumed) clutch. Recently, it seems as if the engagement point is getting closer to the floor. Is this something that happens as the clutch wears? I’m not familiar with modern stickshifts (I’m used to my air-cooled vw and it’s not hydraulic so the engagement point lowers as the cable stretches).
I’ve also noticed that it’s harder to get in and out of gear (going into 1st or reverse, and coming out of second at low speeds like in traffic. Seems my shifter bushings are ok and I don’t notice any alarming play. But my shifter does move forwards and backwards from neutral quite a bit without the clutch depressed. I’ll try to attach a video, but I don’t have any trouble with any other gears.
Any advice for me?
