Clutch Catch Position

I just bought a 03 justa the clutch catches very high which makes starting from a stop a real tricky PITA. Is there any way to adjust clutch grab height? or am i just going to have to relearn so to speak how to shift smooth?

Please help its driving me crazy

Unfortunately it's not adjustable. But the engagement point on the Justa is significantly higher than on an S, so that doesn't necessarily mean the clutch is worn.

+1. Engagement on my Justa is very high and has been since i've got it. No signs of clutch wear, so I figure it's normal. You'll get used to it!
