Adjusting the clutch...is it possible?

Does anyone know how to ajust the clutch? I'd like the clutch pedal to engage a little higher (further from the floor).
Thanks.

All I know is that after my 30k tuneup, the clutch became much easier to manipulate, and it catches a bit higher off the floor. I didn't ask them to do it, but they obviously took it out for a test drive and came back and adjusted it slightly.

my solution was to move the seat further back so that I don't bottom out when pressing the clutch and it works just fine...

Here's an old thread about clutch adjustment.

From what I read in the thread, it looks like there is no adjustment for engagement of the clutch.

So you took it in to the dealer? Do you know how they did it? Why did you have it adjusted?

It was making a clicking sound when you push down. He said the clutch needs to be adjusted. THey did it and presto it was gone.
