I think you have a hydro clutch, unless you cracked a line the only adj there is the clutch peddle itself and you really don't need to adj that.

The shaft from the pedal into the master cylinder is adjustable.
It is located in the car, behind the pedal.
12mm open end wrench on the lock nut.
Turn the shaft.

Yeh,
Its kind of sticking to the floor right now, haven’t really messed with it yet..
Should I just keep pushing it until I get pressure back or do I need to adjust the pedal part?
I don’t think any lines are broke, because nothing is leaking. I just thought you had to adjust it after replacing the clutch.
Thanks

no you don't need to adjust it unless it's seriously out of spec from the get go. all you need to do for a hydro tranny is just bleed the system of air.

itis staying to the floor because when you bleed it or have excessive air in the system, you arent building fluid pressure and not acting on the presure plate. when the air is out of the system the pedal will return. bleed the first couple of times with your hand. you may have to pull the pedal up the first or second time. when all the air is out, the pedal should move 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch before acting on the pressure plate. thats where the adjustment comes in. if it is too much, run the rod in. if there isnt enough freeplay, run it out. therein lies the problem. if you have too much freeplay, clutch wont fully disengage. if you have no freeplay, as the fluid warms up you will slip the clutch.

you need to [R]bleed[/R] the clutch. Fill the clutch reservior with brake fluid. 2. compress the clutch and hold it to the floor. 3. Have your friend bleed the line then(you will feel the clutch suck down) 4. You are relieving the air in the cylinder and line 5. continue doing so until you have the clutch fully cleaned out. Do so until your clutch feels like a normal clutch again. PM me if you have some questions.
