Default How to adjust clutch switch. ?

My 16/18 Tick master cylinder for the clutch allows me to have a shorter throw, but I can't seem to get the clutch switch adjusted far enough to enable me to shorten the clutch travel as much as I would like. Any advice?

I had the same issue. Only solution I found was installing a small 3m rubber pad (used for glass table tops to sit on their base) on the clutch pedal arm where it makes contact with the switch. Can be removed as it simply sticks on with self adhesive. Been good all year and no issues. Hope that helps!
