Finally got the car back together and it started and moved first time woohoo

The only thing that is a bit annoying is that the clutch bite seems to be very high on the pedal (within the last 2 inches of pedal travel)

Im not sure if it was like this before, and that maybe it just feels weird after driving a different car for the last 6 weeks, but is there any way to adjust the clutch so that it bites a bit earlier?

And we checked the clutch while it was out and it is hardly worn at all, so thats one thing that it won't be.

Any ideas?

I'll take a wild guess at a red 4 litre Chimaera wink

You can change the length of the push rod that connects the pedal to the master cylinder. There's a lock nut which needs to be undone, and then the rod can be rotated to suit.
