unfortunately i have no idea when the clutch was last changed
the bite is right at the top of letting the pedal out
and no problems at all with selecting gears

the weird thing is i never heard it before. when i went to look at it or when i drove it or for the time is been parked up in the garage but regularly started up
i was thinking about having the clutch replaced as the pedal comes right up and having no idea when i was last replaced
hopefully will be on the road soon after some tlc
