Default Clutch grabs as soon as pedal is 1mm off floor

Causing me to grind. My other car has maybe an inch or two then it grabs which is plenty of wiggle room when racing.

It's an adjustment by bleeding the fluid? I have no clue how to go abou this

I want the pedal to release and not grab the clutch for atleast an inch or so off the floor

adjust it at the pedal. you'll see a rod connected to the top of the clutch pedal. loosen the nut and spin it.

Car came like this it works fine for dd

Clutch is apparently yonaka stage 2 (heavy pedal)

Dood I looked at that nut that would adjust the height from the fuse box which is ok

When it's fully depressed to the floor I don't want any bite till I lift my leg more than slightly if that makes sense

you either looked at the wrong nut or your not looking at it correctly. There is pin or sometimes bolt that holds the bar from the master cylinder to the pedal take this out than loosen the U clamp on the master cylinder bar. Now reassemble. This will allow the pedal to compress the master cylinder further/fully disengage the clutch. If this does not work Bleed the clutch. If neither of these work Your master cylinder is bad.

Sorry for lack of proper words.

Hope this helps.
