The clutch pedal linkage has an over-center spring, which means that when you ajust the height of the pedal, you'll also change the force of the pedal. The adjustment numbers from the service manual (link shown above) may be used as a guide. I moved my pedal down and the force also went down, and the clutch is much easier to operate.
I have not done this yet but you can also replace the sloppy pivot pin with a self-fabricated larger diameter pin to eliminate additional freeplay from the pedal.
There is a recent thread with pictures for adjusting the pedal.

Not bad, but different than Michael's. His clutch on the other hand was lighter and very linear throughout the travel. It didn't "pop" at the end of it's travel when letting off the clutch. I actually liked the feel of his clutch better for rev matching.
So, how would you describe the feel of your clutch?

My clutch is a little springy near the top. I really wish the clutch was overall stiffer by maybe 1.5 - 2 times. This would help with rev matching and driving ease by far I think; IMO its a little light for a sports car.
