When I bought my car a couple of months ago I had never drove a manual before so I didnt notice it but I almost have to let the clutch out almost all the way before it will catch. Its at maybe 1/2 an inch. Is there some knid of adjustment for this or do I need a new clutch plate?

 

Audi clutches need to be let up high for it to engage

 

our clutches are Hydraulic they can not be adjusted

 

so then....stupid question, how can i tell when the disk is worn? my clutch grabs so far out i figured it was worn. it literally is about a 1/2 inch.

 

It's normal mine has been like that since I bought the car 40,000 miles ago.

 

so its prolly ok?

 

I was skeptical too when i got my car. Especially when (y'all are gonna love this) one of APR's Employees, after driving my car, told me I needed to adjust my clutch or else it would mess up my throw out bearing. I've heard that an aftermarket clutch will lower the relase point somewhat but I personally don't know. I've thought about putting some sort of clutch stop in mine because i have a tendancy to press the clutch to the floor just from habit and this obviously wastes time.
