Clutch issuses

[HubbzPug]

Hi guys, i'm a little confused.. i was always told that, as your clutch deteriorates the biting point rises.
but lately, if i pull away pretty sharply, my biting point seems to be lower!
any ideas what could be the issue???

Remove the clutch pedal damper/spring thing and see if that helps - they're notorious for causing issues like this.

If you look from the footwell up at the clutch pedal you'll see a plastic spring thing on the side - pop this off with a screwdriver and throw it in the bin!

Most 306's have auto-adjusting clutch cables so the biting point doesn't tend to change much as the clutch wears unlike older cars with conventional clutch cables.

Mine appears to bite when pedal gets close to floor. Bit difficult to get it into first a lot of the time but not consistently, sometimes it's fine!!! WTF , is this that spring thing behind the pedal playing up, or is my clutch or gearbox fooked? What's difference in symptoms 'tween clutch and gearbox probs?

Best to pop the spring off and see if it improves at all
