    Hi, i think the biting point on the clutch of my saxo is moving further and further out.

    the clutch isnt slipping as the car pulls perfectly, could it be that thrust release bearing??

    thanks

    mine does this, and sometimes the point where it bites won't let me apply throttle and move, have to lift it further. getting new clutch soon lol

    my biting point is so high up you practically lift it all the way before you start moving

    You will probably need to change it soon. My biting point on the clutch was so high it burnt the crank shaft sensor out as well as the clutch.
