Hi Guys
New owner of 2001 323 protege manual and a couple of issues. Clutch engages very low when taking off in 1st gear, otherwise engages at reasonable height thru rest of box. I've bled thru new fluid which has improved a little but still very low. Car has 130klm on it, not sure of life expectancy clutch plate.

Also throttle is very sensitive and takes a while to back off when pedal lifted, similar to overrun

Anyone ever come across either of these

never heard of any of those issues with that type of car.

but as for clutch, as it's life nears it's end, it should be very high up in the pedal range of motion when nearly dead. so i do not think it is that.

and for accellerator, these a cable controlled, check the cable.
