Clutch Low biting point - Toyota Yaris Forums

UPDATE:
So the master cylinder still works but now another 10 months down the line im teaching my daughter to drive in the car so the clutch is getting some more than usual abuse!

So I thought I would fill you guys in, the clutch biting point is good but yea 2nd gear (only when cold) and reverse sometimes are notchy to get in so I though the only thing left would be the pressure plate spring or worn clutch so i decided to change it!

I changed the clutch (took around 4 hrs I can post my procedure if anyone wants but i didnt take any photos) the clutch didnt look heavily worn but coul d be old and weak springs on the pressure plate, So when refilling the gearbox oil I had previously used 75w90 this time I used Toyota straight flat 75W from the owners manual, The clutch is still adjustable via the newer master cylinder and feels much better and the crunching gears are also pretty much gone now!
