Ever since I bought my Tuscan earlier this year I've struggled with smooth gear changes. Unlike my Griff (same gear box) I find I have to bury the clutch pedal into the floor on the Tuscan to be able to make swift, smooth gear changes.

I've found the clutch starts biting the millimetre the clutch pedal is off the floor. On the Griff the bite point is about a quarter into the pedal travel.

Is this normal? If not, does anyone know what it means and how to adjust/fix the issue? A worn clutch is normally indicated by a very late bite point, near the top of pedal travel, not right at the start.

I thought I'd get some advice before I start spending money.

Bleed the clutch after first checking fluid level. If it’s low look for leakages in the system.
Could just be air getting in via the bleed screw so make sure it’s nipped up tight after bleeding.
