Default Clutch release and grip

Hi everyone,

I let some friends drive my car for a few minutes the other day, and they were having issues slipping the clutch a bit at start, and it seems to me that now the clutch engages a little later/higher on the pedal movement, and not as abruptly as I like it...

So I was wondering from RS drivers and GT3 drivers if the can tell me at what point there their clutch pedal release grips/engages...

Mine is at about 2/3s of the way up now... I thought it was at 50% before.

Trying to figure out if it is in my head or did the pressure plate wear out from their inexperienced driving?

It's hard to believe as it was just 3 or 4 slips... but who knows... anyone with experience on this?

I have been wondering the same thing.
Mine is all the way at the very end of the pedal and always has been since I bought the car 4000 miles ago with 5500 miles on it. With the LWFW it is hard to leve traffic lights. The car also vibrates a bit when I let the clutch out to back up the car.. On the track it is fine, the clutch does not slip.

Anyone know if the clutch can be adjusted?

Mine is and has been about 2/3 of the way up. I haven't noticed a change.

Mine engages between 1/2 and 2/3 out. Like TRACKCAR I also experience some vibration when backing up. Should we be concerned about this?
