Are you referring to how hard the clutch pedal is to engage/disengage?

The only way you can make ANY adjustments is if you take the clutch master cylinder off the clutch pedal and adjust the length of the shaft on the clutch master.

Let me know if you need any help doing this.

There is not a whole lot you can do to adjust a hydrolic clutch. You can adjust the rod that connects to the clutch peddle (it should have a few MM of free play), and that's about it.

no adjustment there. it's just a solid "fork thingy" that pushes the throwout bearing intot the pressure plate thingy, when you push on the clutch peddle.

what exaclty are you trying to do again?

this is correct. you can loosen the twelve mm nut on the clutch master cyl. rod. this will allow you to turn the rod. you will want a 1/2 in to 3/4 in. of free play. the proper amount of free play is very important for clutch life
