I believe your '89 uses the same type of setup as my '87. It uses a hydraulic clutch with a concentric slave cylinder that isn't adjustable.

I'm not sure what you mean by "engages when you press the clutch pedal down about 2 inches." Normally one talks about the clutch engaging while the pedal is up and disengaging while the pedal is pressed down. If the clutch isn't slipping, I wouldn't expect you have any problems yet.

If you are saying that it disengages too quickly, you can shorten the rod or shim out the master cylinder.
