You can adjust the pedal height, get a torch and have a look under the dash there. You should see a nut on a rod near where the top of the clutch pedal. loosen the nut, then turn the rod with your fingers to set the clutch actuation point on your pedal travel.

This won't give you more or less clutch grip, but could potentially save you from burning out your clutch if it's wrongly adjusted.

note: if ur a big dood, take the seat out.

Short answer: No.

You can fix/replace/bleed things that are broken/airfilled. But you can't adjust it (other than the takeup point as described by Devo above)

The step in the flywheel can slightly change it but like all the previous comments, pedal height adjustment only

do you mean i can adjust my friction point?

i've been driving my car for a while now and i can literally press half an inch to disengage/engage clutch.

you can just adjust the position of the peddle itself not the friction point. If you can do that then its a damn good chance your running out of friction material fast, better start looking for a new clutch.

ok my clutch pedal reaches the friction point very close to the floor, will adjusting the pedal help that? (the system is full of fluid, bled.. its gay, i dunno why its so close to floor)
