Hi all,
I have sort of a general question: How high up does your clutch pedal go before it "catches" in first gear? My Nissan Xterra's (2001 w/50K) clutch catches very near the beginning of when you release the pedal, but on my new 2005 insight, it catches almost near the top and feels sort of "weak". The Xterra would grab right away and take off in gear, but the Insight seems to hesitate a little and almost "shudder" when I take off. I realize this is hard to explain, but hopefully someone out there knows what I'm talking about. I also notice this when i'm stopped on hills. The car almost feels like its going to stall.
The insight I test drove was a CVT, so I have nothing to compare it to, other than my dad's old Subaru. His clutch catches near the top, but its has a ton of miles on it (>300K). This leads me to believe that the insight's clutch needs adjusting or something.
Any Ideas?.
I searched for "clutch" but couldn't come up with any usefull answers.
