How much can I adjust my clutch ?

I have a VW Polo, I have to press my clutch down to the floor now to change gear and the gears are beginning to crunch a little when changed. The clutch is not slipping yet. I wondered how much adjustment I would have available and how long it would last. The clutch has been in the car from new and it is 8 years old now.



Thanks in advanceHow much can I adjust my clutch ?
your clutch is fine...cable may be stretched needing replaced...now if its a hydrolic[no cable] it may need bleeding...How much can I adjust my clutch ?
8 years ! You have no more adjustment , you need a new clutch.............
I would say it's just the cable out of adjustment: If the clutch is worn out, it tends to bite somewhere near the top of it's travel, not at the bottom.
Until you cant adjust it any more !

Then ya got to replace it
To adjust your clutch the rule of thumb is to get the paddle in line with the foot brake and to do that is to adjust the nut on the end of the cable but if its self adjust it a new clutch fit
if you have to go that far, before you can change gears, then its time for a new pressure plate and clutch.
its not adjustable fit a new clutch
