    cable clutches can be adjusted yes, but its a 89. I'm pretty sure its worn out unsless someone has changed it recently. You can try and adj. it down by the clutch fork...

    I honestly d/n but im sure they did not have hydraulic clutches in 89 lol... i believe it is... my 90 da was cable clutch so i would assume that a car a year younger from the same country would as well

    Open, shorts, or high resistance. I'd say it's something to do with that. Have you check available voltage or anything like that?

    chris, the clutch is super easy to adjust. its the adjustable rod that is on the clutch pedal going into the clutch m/c.

    You might want to preemptively buy a new slave cylinder in case the parts store runs out of them.
