Clutch engagement point changed

Synchros shot? Weird noises while shifting? Not sure what needs to be replaced?

Again, as RP said (in the exact same post), it could have worked itself out which is what caused the pedal height difference.

To further clarify: It is possible that you had a bubble before and it's gone now.
