Clutch Drag

[Ronald G. Stephenson]

I too, am one of those 'half-way-up' people, and always insist on my preference. I believe that the release bearing needs some free play, and if the pedal engagement is way up, it is usually a sign that it is time for a new clutch disc. Not a lot of material on these things, and a poor driver can destroy one in a short time. The least amount of slippage is best, and I had one everyday driver that had a clutch lasting 180,000 miles, and that is not an exageration.
