    I baught a saxo furio recently and the clutch bite is basically at the top, there is a spring effect on the clutch and it's right on that point if you get me? Quite hard to explain, is there anyway to get rid of it or adjust? Cheers people

    Probably the clutch nearing the end of its life. Adjustment is made on the cable where it goes into the clutch fork/arm on top of the box - a nut and locking nut on the end of a thread

    Iv adjusted it and it's near the bottom now how I like it , the spring effect is still there but I think a lot of cars have that effect

    Sorry to bring up dead issue again. But i got this problem om my vtr.. But adjusting the cable doesnt help. It only makes things worse.. But it has a brand new clutch in. I have had box off to check aswell.. So am i right in thinking the cable its self must be stretched... Its only thing i can think off

    Sounds like it to me, if you took it to a trusted garage I'm sure they're adjust it for you correctly for free and if there was a problem they would rectify it.
