My clutch pedal is letting out at the very top. It's just barely engaging. Over the years the pedal has been slowly letting out closer and closer to the top. What does that mean? What would you reccommend to fix it? Someone mentioned a clutch kit. What comes in one of those? Would that do the trick?

Thank You
Happy Holidays

Yep, sounds like its time for a new clutch. A clutch kit contains: Pressure plate, ctutch disc, throw-out bearing and pilot bearing. Be sure to have the flywheel machined so the new disc has a fresh surface.
