My clutch is acting kinda funny.

Think I need to do a clutch pedal adjustment. Any suggestions?

There is no adjustment. You can bleed it though. What's it doing?

These clutches are known to glass over if there's a lot of feathering and, pardon my language, pussy footing of the clutch.

Typically this happens when people ride the clutch, leave their left foot on the pedal while driving, or take a long time to fully engage the clutch.

This can be corrected by only shifting above 3k and by releasing the clutch faster than normal, this doesn't mean sidestepping it, just a quick release.

It feels like its taking longer to engage, like the engagement point is less prominent. Any tips on how to bleed the clutch lines? IM used to the clutch system on my old eclipse so this is kind of new to me.

as to how I managed to do this...Id really rather not say.

There's a bleed point on top of the transmission. Just follow the lines off of the brake fluid tank, the one that doesn't go to the abs unit (or if missing that, the brakes) is your clutch line.
