Clutch engagement changed and hard to get into gear!!!
My clutch engagement recently went from the 3/4 pedal out position to engaging when the clutch is almost 100% released. Now I have a problem engaging 1st gear.
I did let my relative drive the car for 10minutes and something changed since then. Is there a clutch adjustment somewhere that could have loosened?

This bites the big one. What do you guys recommend, Keep driving it, take it in (how much does it cost), take it in and put in an aftermarket clutch?

My clutch is 100% fine, but has always engaged very high up the pedal. Sometimes when I drive other 5 speeds, I'll almost stall the car from a start, becasue the pedals are 100% released about 25% from the bottom.
I drove an RX8 a few months ago and got back in my car and thought my clutch was gone, because I was lifting off the pedal and the car wasn't going anywhere.
