Hi all my 98 classic seem when you really give it some stick the clutch bedal seems to stick down a bit and the biting point is very low. Does any one have any ideas what this may be?

Make sure the spring which goes from the fork to the gear box bracket is fitted & give it a good bleed.

this a common problem, the pedal arm wears out on the pivot point!!

The only way to fix it is to replace it.

I havent got a spring on the gearbox fork i didnt know it should have one. I bought the car without an engine you see. Scoobyfreak how can i tell if its worn? Thanks for the info guys i was worried id done something wrong lol

Worn pivot is common & is easily checked by grabbing hold of the pedal & checking for play in the pivot. However usually worn pivot makes the pedal stick all the time & not just when driving hard. A missing fork spring cause exactly what has been described when driving really hard but old clutch fluid can cause it too as it can't cope when it gets hot.

Thats brilliant thank you richard. Ill see if i can get a spring off ebay and then ill replace the fluid. Thank you everso much for the help.

I would say that Richard is correct, the worn pivot happens all the time.
