Default PLZ HELP! adjusting where clutch pedal engages clutch

I have an 07 Fx4 5 speed. I've heard there is no way to adjust where the clutch pedal will catch with a hydrolic clutch. My pedal is waaay too high when it engages, it's not fully engaging the clutch. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks

Sounds like it may be time for a clutch job

Your clutch is gone.. make sure you aren't leaking motor oil on it that's what happened to mine. My valve cover gasket rotted out and leaked down on my clutch and i had a hell of a weekend replacing all that

It's weird bc it doesn't slip unless I dump the clutch n first, which I've only done once, just bought it and wanted to see what it had lol.

Looks like it's time for a gasket and clutch job! It's pretty easy to do yourself if you are mechanically inclined! Tons of videos on YouTube about it. Good luck to you!
