Any of you had clutch issues?

The bite point of the clutch on my 330S is almost at the top of the pedal now?
The cars only done 12K and hasn't been launched.
Its not slipping

Your bite point high?
I'm convinced my bite point is changing - if that makes sense
Sometimes it bits on say 60-70% released, most times its biting on 80-90% released.

I'm afraid I don't have the ability to do such a task

Out of interest, I was speaking with a guy I know who is from an ex dealership
He said that when the clutch goes/is about to go, the clutch pedal becomes very difficult to push.
Sounded like bull to me - can you make any comment?

What do think of this
When the car is cold the bite point is roughly in the middle
But when warm, its very close to the top
Would that indicate it needs bled?

Can Be a little heavier but not that you would notice on an sti, usually you will feel a bit of a notch on the pedal at the top when you press it, that usually signify's its well past its best

Could be a faulty clutch slave cylinder.

bleeding would be the first port of call & then to try it and see if it changes its behaviour if it doesn't then it will need a slave cylinder replaced.

the only other thing that I've seen it the return spring can snap on the clutch arm which would give you the same scenario too
