All the adjustment does it adjust pedal height and free play. This is basically the adjustment between the pedal and master cylinder (nothing more). This shouldn't vary and really shouldn't have to be adjusted, ever. The only times I've seen where this needed to be adjusted is if a different-than-stock master or slave cylinder was used.

All of this talk about hydraulic clutches reminded me that replacing the hydraulic clutch fluid is on my summer "to do" list. Has anyone used a Speedbleeder to make this job easier? If so, could you help us all out and provide the part number? TIA

my car did this brand new. it gets so much better once everything is warmed up though.

At 12.5K miles, a tranny fluid change is probably in order too, and this might provide relief...

Anyone else having a problem with 1st gear being sticky when pulling out and upshifting into 2nd, when the tranny is warming up??

Any guesses on the problem if it isn't the clutch??

I often have that problem. When the tranny is cold, getting it out of first gear to neutral takes a good pull. But after I drive a few miles, it tends to get better.

As overkill as it may sound, I change my tranny fluid every 15k miles. It makes an immediate noticeable difference each time. The shifting feels buttery smooth after each change. The problem is that it starts to degrade and the 'stickiness' reappears.

If the tranny doesn't feel better after the oil change, then it could be the clutch. I've been through 2 OEM's and 1 ACT when changing the tranny oil resulted in no improvement.
