Clutch adjustable? or going on me?
The clutch on my 2002 Coupe seems to be engaging in a "higher" pedal position than before. I also have a hard time getting it into reverse. Does this mean my clutch is going? or can I adust it? The car has 30k
thanks in advance

Stock clutches are not adjustable.
Pull inspection plate with vette on lift and have someone depress clutch pedal to check air gap.
Your pressure plate springs could be wearing out.
Cartek sells an adjustable clutch system.

Also be sure to check the fluid level and color. If the fuid is discolored also change it before going into further teardown and a lot of clutch issues can be linked to dirty/overheated fluid.

clutch troubles
Thats normally the way you know the clutch has had it.They wear towards the top until you dont have enough travel to disengage it.How some ever the part from above could be true as well,so check fluid level & see if its contaminated....
