Clutch Engagement Point

Hi, have a '97 F150, V6, 5speed, Super cab, 2wd.

Recently I have noticed that the clutch engagement point has been getting rather high, higher than I remember it being. You have to let the clutch out a LOT to get it to engage and by the time full engagement has been made you have already completely lifted your foot off the clutch. The truck was purchased with 40,000km's on it and it now has something like 120,000 km's.... I belive it is the original clutch.


As of right now I don't seem to notice the clutch slipping (when accelerate hard I don't hear the engine racing)..... but is this high engagment point a sign of the clutch nearing the end of its life? or is it just something is out of adjustment?

TIA.
Jon

Chances are pretty good that your clutch is on it's last legs. The only adjustment is the pressure plate and it adjusts itself.
