Hi peeps, my clutch biting point is at the top of the pedal and it started to slip Friday so iv booked it in to we love Mgf's just around the corner from me. Now quick question, will it be the clutch or will the release arm have a part to play in it?
Thank you.

Since no-one else seems to have I'll jump in.

In the UK it seems release arms give lots of issues, I'm sure they will remove it when the gearbox is off
and have a good look. At the very least remove and fully grease it, perhaps consider a new greasable shaft.

If it's slipping chances are the clutch is worn out. Replace everything you can afford once it's apart, not something you want to be doing again in a hurry whether by a mechanic or yourself.

There is no guarantee that whoever is doing the clutch replacement will touch let alone remove and grease the actuating arm UNLESS you specifically request it. For your own piece of mind make sure it's done and preferably with the exchange item that can be greased in situ. This is not a job you want to have done more than once so make the most of it.
