Is there a way

Is there a way to adjust the clutch peddle, or do anything to adjust where the friction point begins? I have a new south bend clutch and it starts to grab about three to four inches from the end of the peddle. It doesn't feel right, almost like its a only partially engaging.

Clutches on manual transmission equipped trucks are completely hydraulic and NOT adjustable.

Fixed it, I pulled the cap off the clutch master cylinder, then pulled the slave cylinder. Extended the slave cylinder as far as it would SAFELY go, then reinstalled. Guess I had a little bit of air in the line.

I tried that with no success, but pumping the cylinder by hand did the trick.
