Default Is it possible to adjust clutch pedal?

Quick question guys is it possible to adjust the clutch pedal to grab earlier instead of all the way on top? I have owned my Hawk for over 2 years now and have driven the car maybe 1500 miles in those 2 yrs and my clutch is a Mcleod and I could have sworn it grabbed at about 1/2 to 3/4 when I purchased the car. I already checked the fluid and its crystal clear. I don't know what master slave is in it and it does not slip and the pedal has always been real heavy compared to a stock clutch. The car only has 19400 miles she's a garage queen and the prev owner said the clutch maybe had 2500 miles in it when I purchased it.

If you have an adjustable master you can. The clutch is quite possibly worn as well causing the high release point too.

It is supposed to engage/disengage near the top.

It can't be it only has 4000 miles that would really suck if it is worn. I'm going to take it to FLP performance and have them check if it has a adjustable master.

As a clutch gets used the clutch pedal will get higher. If its not your clutch its the hydros, either master, slave, or your fluid in the line.
