Q: Clutch disengages halfway.
So I just got a new clutch put in last week. Since then I put about 300-400 miles on it. Highway and city. When I first got my car back I'd had my foot all the way down on the clutch and almost as soon as I start letting go it would start to grab. Now when I push all the way down it starts to grab around halfway and closer to the top. Is it bad already???????
My car has 135800 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.
