Where does your clutch engage on the pedal? High or low? ---
 
I have noticed my clutch lets out really high up , almost where the pedal is fully disengaged (maybe an inch from the top).

Is this typical for our systems?

The clutch on my Viper engages really low , about an inch off the floor (opposite of the ZR-1).

I wasn't sure if this may be a clue that I am about ready for a new clutch? I don't notice it slipping at all , so it may be normal ... but I was just curious enough to ask you guys.

The car has 44k miles on it , and got the LPE topend package installed at 23k miles ... so not sure if its the original still or not.

I tend to get the loud transmission sound after everything is warmed up too. I think my flywheel weights are flopping around if its even the dual mass anymore.

If it is time for a clutch and flywheel replacement, whats everyones favorite aftermarket combination to look into?

Thanks! :) ---

Ive never ran a clutch out until it failed before.

Whats the worst that can happen , it locks you out of shifting?

What kind of damage can happen?

Isnt there a way to test if you are slipping or not by putting it in 4th gear at a low rpm, then giving it a good amount of throttle (then watch if the RPMs rise too quickly)? ---

Mine is very high also and the clutch in it does not have much feel to it, it's either engaged or not...Makes stop and go driving a Royal pain in the Butt.

Previous Owner had an Aluminum flywheel and Heavy duty clutch of unknown origin installed, I'm going to try changing it out for a more Street Friendly version.

My 91 is just past mid way with new clutch & PP Marc just installed it. The 93 is about the same with 26k miles.

Mine is midway between all the way up and to the floor.

That's if you try to force it into gear though, right? ---
