Well, I was having some issues with a soft pedal on my way to KFC last night, so I figured I'd adjust the rod a little bit there in the parking lot. Bad Idea.

I cant get my car to engage the clutch anymore. Both fluid res's are full, but the pedal is soft. If you look at the FSM, bolt c needs to be loosened so that you can tun the rod (labeled "D" on the FSM) and change the free play. If I adjust it one way, the pedal just falls to the floor. If I put it all the way the other way, it'll have a SLIGHT amount of pressure, but not enough to engage, the clutch cant even get the car in gear.

Am I adjusting something wrong? Because no matter what I change down there, it doesn't fix it. I had to put the car in first, get rolling down a hill and start it. Couldn't stop, wouldn't be able to get the car back in gear.

I would say that your "soft pedal" had nothing to do with the free play.
Sounds to me like either the MC or slave has died.

Yup, your master of slave is dead.

I basically tighten with my fingers until I can't tighten it anymore. Make sure the locknut is backed off enough that it isn't bottoming out on you. Like the previous post said, you may have a failed mc or sc.

but do I want the rod as far in or as far out of the pedal as possible?

The FSM calls for .2 to .5" of pedal freeplay before resistance is felt.
If- as I suspect- you have a problem with the hydraulics (MC or slave) you won't be able to properly set this until you fix the underlying cause.
