I want to adjust my clutch engagement point, how to ?

I just put a new pressure plate / throwout in my car. The clutch used to engage right away, now I let the peddle all the way out to engage it. I bleed the clutch system correctly

What can I do to adjust this point ?

S2 RX7, S5 T2 Trans, S5 T2 Clutch master/slave, ACT Stage 3 pressure plate, ACT 6 puck, ACT 9lb fly

Help...Thanks.

There's a rod on the clutch pedal that goes to the clutch master that is locked on with a jam nut. Loosen the jam nut and turn the push rod out until the desired setting, then tighten the jam nut. Job done!

In addition to above, it should have 3/16" to 1/2" freeplay.

^True, you should be able to push the pedal that far with just your finger before you encounter any force. Additionally, keep an eye on your free play, you will probably have to adjust it in about 30k-50k miles due to wear.
