The hydro clutch is self adjusting.

If you want to adjust the clutch, you need to buy an adj master cylinder. Cartek makes one. It has a quick disconnect to the slave cylinder, so it can be installed without removing the clutch.

Re: Clutch Adjustment (Red63)

You can manually adjust the takeup point of the clutch. There are nylon adjusters (self adjusters) on the pressure plate. I guess there's about 5 or 6 of them that when moved in or out from the center move the point where the clutch engages/disengages in relation to the floor. It's like adjusting drum brakes, you can turn the star manually or let the self adjustment work its magic. This is not for the faint of heart but is possible.
