Guys, do i have something to be worry about if the new clutch is getting high on the pedal ?

I didn't notice any slip so far...

Can it be a bit adjustable ?

Thanks

No it isn't adjustable.

My 406 had a high biting point from the time I bought it at 23,000 miles until I sold it at 95,000.

I don't think you should worry...they usually start off after a new clutch with the biting point very close to the floor,then they move up soon afterwards.

I would certainly keep an eye on it though.

Yeah i remember when i first got on the car with the new clutch it was a bit more lower the bitting point, but some days after it started to move up, it almost looks like my old clutch but this one doesn't slip ...

I hope this doesn't get slipping early... i just spent a lot of money on this ...

Thanks mate for your feedback.
