I have a 2006 5 spd with 50K on it. On a recent road trip I noticed I the clutch did not shift as smoothly in lower gears. I also have to push it much closer to the floor in order to engage it. I used to have a a volkswagon and I would adjust the clutch cable when this would happen. I took a quick look and did not see the clutch cable on my element. Does this sound like it needs an adjustment or something else?? Can anyone post a picture or layout of where the thread I need to adjust would be?

The Element, like most modern cars, has a hydraulically operated clutch. The symptoms you described would seem to indicate that yours has a problem.

Is it creeping while in first gear with the clutch pedal depressed? If so the simple thing is check the fluid in the clutch master or the pressure plate could be having a problem.
