It is a hydraulic set up Bill. The master cylinder is tucked up above the clutch pedal.

So it cant be adjusted ???

I have just noticed that it slips in high gear from 3rd to 4th just slightly..pulls away in 1/ 2 ok....had a new clutch 54 k ago 2015..

Might get some more use from it if I nurse it along..

The slipping is either due to wear on the clutch plate, it is seizing on the splines due to no grease being applied when the clutch was last replaced, weakening or broken diaphragm spring or contamination of the drive plate by oil leaking past the drive shaft seal.

Haven't come across the last two on our cars mind.
