To be clutch or not to be depends from adjustment, if there is adjustment left and you can make it work like it should with adjustment and if it does not slip, then clutch still has some life left in it, but if adjustment is used to end already, then it is clutch.

If I remember correctly, adjustment is under the car near clutch lever that is at clutch bellhousing, so you need to get car up and get under the car.

It is now over 2 years since I was under my car last time so it is becoming bit hard to remember.

yea i heard about that, clutch pedal is high with biting point being just before max hight
seems to drive and pull away fine, just when drifting it sorta revs(not screaming to the limiter) the all power drops off and it bogs down

guy before me said he used to clutch kick it but i cant do that unless it is we

Sounds like your power loss issue has nothing to do with the clutch. Clutch slip is when the engine is screaming but the power isn't being transmitted to the road....like you have the clutch pedal half down.

You really shouldn't need a manual to change the clutch...just unbolt everything! Be VERY careful when re-fitting the torque tube...it's pretty easy to destroy the spigot bearing. I'll tell you now...this job isn't much fun!

I've never had bad luck with a cheap clutch kit, but it is a risk, I suppose.

Sounds like you need to download a new version of Acrobat Reader onto that PC. Google it.

cheers
