Default Adjusting clutch engagement

Hello all,

Looking for tips on adjusting the engagement point on our clutch pedal. From a functioning standpoint the clutch works great, but out of preference we prefer the clutch engagement be a bit lower in the pedal swing.

I have read a few things about adjusting the pushrod length? Can't see how that would change things, my guess was that the air gap between the throwout bearing and clutch fingers isn't big enough.

Any tips are appreciated

Shortening your clutch rod will make the clutch start to engage closer to the floor. Make small changes until you get it where you want.

Adjusting clutch engagement is like Goldilocks tuning a gearbox… not too high, not too low, just right
