Default 01 Clutch Adjustment

Hey guys I used to be able to adjust my clutch pedal on my 93 Acura cable tranny I was wondering if there is a way to do this on a stock 01 Civic EX.

I had the clutch replaced and its fine but it grabs a little past half when I release is this normal? I like my clutch to grab right when I release that way I do not feel like I am riding it.

Any tips?

Am I just being ****?

-Thank you

Ok I will try bleeding, does anyone have a pic of the slave cylinder? Is bleeding similar to the breaks?

Thanks

Hydraulic clutches are not adjustable. The only adjustment is pedal freeplay, which doesn't serve the same purpose as adjusting a cable clutch. You don't want to touch the pedal freeplay adjustment because it will never be right again.

A properly bled hydraulic clutch will start out catching slightly above halfway pedal travel when new, and get higher from there as the disc wears.
