my clutch was engaging really low after the hurricane down here in FL, then i was unable to shift due to the clutch not disengaging (or engaging, just not disconnecting from the engine). after asking some professionals and using the search function of this great forum, i bled my clutch and put in new DOT 4 fluid and now my problem is fixed but i have come across a new one, my clutch engagement is really high. is this normal or is this a sign of a worn clutch (lots of miles on my car, dont know if it was ever replaced or not and with what)? some cars have the engagement lowering as the clutch wears and others have it raising, which way does ours go?

when my clutch was starting to go, it was engaging very hi. 2 weeks ago, it went.

thanks for the info man, looks like i'm gonna have to go clutch hunting.

Do some searches, but I just got myself a Southbend DXD-F clutch. Will let you know how it drives tomorrow.

i've found some cheepy ones on Ebay (Exedy), and a spec for like 290, but i'm also still not sure on how this modular/non-modular clutch things goes.

modular just makes it easy to install. All modular means is that the pressure plate is riveted to the fly wheel with the disk in between. You then bolt that combo to the starter/flex plate. The starter/flex plate is the big disk with the teeth on it thet gets turned by the starter.
