08 civic clutch engagement question
Looking to purchase a used ‘08 with 270K km and during a test drive I noticed the clutch doesn’t engage until the pedal is almost fully released. Goes into gear and shifts ok, anything I should be concerned about?

it's adjustable but you might need to replace after purchase

Likely needs a clutch job.

typical symptom of disc wear, worn beyond self-adjusting ability.
