adjusting the clutch
hi guys, just got a new clutch installed by a guy that works out of his garage for less than half the price of a traditional shop. now that i have the car back the clutch pedal seems a little shallow, and the clutch only disengages/engages really close to the floor. i called him to ask if he could adjust where the clutch disengages cause it's too close to the floor, and he says that he can't cause it's a hydraulic clutch. i have an 88 rx7 with no mods and no turbo. i'm pretty sure there is a way to adjust where in the pedal travel the clutch disengages, but i don't know how to do it........any hints?

Or something really stupid has happened like the clutch fork falling off of the pivot ball.
