Default clutch pedal adjustment?

95, 6 speed, can the pedal itself be adjusted?..I sometimes have trouble shifting into first gear, unless I double pump the clutch. no fluid leaks, replaced slave and master less then 3,000 miles ago. Today I bled the clutch slave and it is still the same. The clutch feels fine no slippage at all. I have to push the pedal clear to the floor to disengage, is the pedal itself adjustable? or am I looking at a new clutch soon?

I would think maybe air in the system or the cylinder is bad,even if its new.

Even if they're new this would be my first suspect.

You can't adjust the pedal, it's self adjusting.

It could be that there is wear on the pedal pivot point. This can happen, especially on a high mileage car. Try to see how far down the pedal goes down before things actually start moving. It might be easier if you have help doing this.

Could be a bad seal on the master; its easy to take apart and inspect. Even a small defect can have a huge impact.
