bleeding the lines is about the onlything you can do unless you want to change the slave cylinder or the pump thingy. i can't remember what its called right off hand.

but to bleed it, you're gonna need like a 8mm(i think). pump the clutch till it builds pressure, then on the SC should be this little thing you can turn with the 8mm(its gonna be on the end of the cylinder). turn it just enough till the fluid starts coming out. tighten it back up and do it again, till all the air is out of the line. and only way i know to tell all the air is out, if is you do it a couple times and you're getting nothing but fluid.

Why are you trying to adjust it? Is there a problem with it working? There is an adjustment on the push rod for the master cylinder but you usually wont need to mess with it.

i'm going with its probably just a weak clutch. or it might be slipping.

i don't know for sure.

le stat, give more details on whats going on.

If it is slipping, you might as well replace it. Probably worn out as the hydro clutches pretty much dont need adjustment.

if its slipping then you clutch is just worn out.
you're gonna need to replace it. and when you do replace it, have your flywheel turned so it doesn't mess up the new clutch with an uneven surface.
