Clutch Bite point?

Hi,Ive got my first car a VX Corsa Diesel 93 and Im having trouble changing gear as its become really notchy and I\'ve found that I have to push the pedal through the floor to change gear. I mean it really is the last 1cm of clutch pedal travel that makes the difference....Does that mean that the Cable is stretched or that the clutch is worn out????

I dont feel the clutch slipping on acceleration thou. but the car has done 97K miles.

If I adjust the clutch cable in the engine will the bite point come up higher?

need your help please

Cheers

if you take it to the garage they can probs adjust the biting point by adjusting the clutch lever & cable on the gearbox, I had similiar problems & then had it sorted & was ok again but still needs doing...

but you may well need to do as si says & get a new clutch!
