What are we talking about, Epp?

My Chevy Luv has a hyrdaulic clutch and I assure you it's adjustable..
there's a threaded rod that comes from the slave cylinder mounted to the
transmission.  This rod has a double nut on the end that engaged the
clutch fork.  Adjust the threaded rod double nuts to adjust the clutch
throw.

I think the master cylinder has an adjustment on the clutch pedal as
well, but I haven't looked closely at that.
