I have a97 audi a4 quattro 2.8. Is there away to adjust my clutch on the car the clutch is grabbing when the pedal is almost wall the say

 

I've been told that "Audi's have a high grabbing point" on the clutch.

That being said, a 17 yr old clutch might need to be replaced (although I have no experience to back up that claim)

 

I've driven a few manual B5's, and the clutch is always high. At the same time, the switch that lets you start the car is pretty low. I'm guessing this is a safety idea as the engagement point is a ways away from the interlock point that let's you start the car.

 

If you are worried about the condition of the clutch disc you could always do the high gear test. Get going about 35 40 or so in fifth gear and floor it. If it grabs OK then your still pretty safe. Just as an FYI..my 96 with 240k still has the original clutch but I've babied it for awhile.
