clutch disengagement instant

Hey, my clutch is disengaging as soon as i touch the pedal, so i dont even know if its fully engaged when im driving. My question is

Does this mean something is bad or about to go bad like clutch, cylinders, air in lines, etc..?

i know you can adjust the point of disengagment, how?

and is there a way to see if the clutch is fully engaged?


Thanks

You can adjust the clutch engagement by turning the rod on the clutch master cylinder.

I don't know for sure on the 7 but most hydraulic clutches I have dealt with when it starts taking up at the top of the pedal its time for a new clutch.

If you adjust it and let it go to long the rivets for the friction material can end up destroying your fly wheel.

^Yep. Super high engagement point typically means a worn out clutch disc. The engagement point comes up as it wears. If it's a hydraulic problem, the engagement point would be low near the floor or the pedal would just go to the floor without releasing the clutch.
