Is the clutch pedal an indication of the condition of the car?
The clutch pedal movement may not be the best indication of the condition of the clutch, since not all automobiles depend on a hydraulic clutch master cylinder for release. Some automobiles are dependent on a mechanical release and the clutch will often require adjustment as it wears down. Thanks! This article was co-authored by Andrew Everett.
