Default Lot's of play in clutch pedal.

I just noticed today that there seems to be alot of play at the top of my clutch. I can push it about 1.5-2"'s before anything even starts to engage. Is this a sign that my clutch is going, or can this be adjusted?

There'a a height adjustment, but I don't think it'll cure what you're describing. That's the "free play", and it's normal. Bleed your clutch fluid at the slave cylinder to be sure you have fresh juice. If your clutch disk is gone, it'll be slipping.

If you step on the Gas and RPM's go up like crazy but you are hardly moving you've got some slipping in the clutch my friend !!!
