How do you adjust clutch engagement height?
Ok, my 99 FRC has 21k miles and the clutch is very high before it engages. It does not slip at all, but is very hard to launch in 1st. I did have the pedal hesitate once coming back up, but only once. Is there an adjustment for this? I'm used to cable adjusted manual clutches, not hydro. The car is also under warantee, but I'm hesitant to let the dealers have her just yet. Thanks guys for any and all input.

AFAIK there is no mechanical adjustment as the hydraulic system should keep the engagement point the same just as it does the brakes. Sounds like you may need some piston work or a bleed of the system.
