Default ZF6 question

I just picked up a 6 speed car (62k miles) and the clutch grabs close to the top of the pedal travel. It works fine but ideally I would like it to grab a bit sooner. Can I adjust this at all, or do I just bleed the system and it is what it is?

From the Factory there is no Clutch adjustment. However, people have Shimmed the Master Cylinder on the Firewall. Since the Car is new to You and I'm pretty sure the Fluid is black I would plan on changing the Fluid out and see where it ends up. Most likely it will end up right where it is now, but you might as well find out.

What about shimming the slave cylinder?
would that help the OP out?
