vectra clutch

[rab10000]

went to sell my vectra today and the buyer tried to get couple of hundred quid knocked off the price due to the clutch being on its way out ( clutch was replaced 18 months ago ) he reckons that the clutch has a high biting point and that indicates the clutch on its way out. he pointed out that on his car the clutch starts to bite as soon as u begin to release the clutch which didnt feel right. there is def no slipping etc from the clutch at all so what i really wanna know is does a high biting point indicate a clutch on its way out?

[Astra Dan]

Not really. It's hydraulic so the bite point is where the system sets it.

kewl is there anyway that it can be adjusted at all? i always thought it was the opposite way around that if it was really low then there was a problem

[Paul]

No adjustment.

Although if there is air in it, you can bleed it and maybe get a better biting point.

Thats assuming there is air in it though - chances are its fine.

If you're happy the clutch is ok, tell the potential buyer to jog on and wait for the next buyer.
