Clutch adjustment?

I have an 88 f250 5 speed. It shifts smooth but you have to push the clutch pedal really hard to get it to shift smooth. Is there any adjustment or repair i can make to fix this.

the clutch is hydraulic, there is no adjustment to it. you could try bleeding it, but more than likely either the master or slave is getting weak

Hydraulic Clutch Troubleshooting .: Articles Have a read here and check the bushing on yours.
Also check the area of the firewall around the master cyl for flexing/cracking, may need a re-enforcing plate.
