Weird clutch
When I bought my car the previous owner said he recently put in a new clutch, however its the strangest clutch I've used. It engages just fine never slips and I rarely grind gears(when i do its my mistake), but the clutch pedal travel is remarkably short probably about 4-6 inches which makes it hard to drive smothly. I've driven cars with bad clutches before and I know the clutch isn't worn, its like any normal clutch pedal travel, only much shorter. When I first bought it there was a spring which held the pedal up to take up the slack, but that broke the first day I owned it (made no difference on the clutch itself). The engagement is smooth, I don't have to pump it, the clutch fluid isn't leaking, it never slips and when I want to it'll burn the rear tires when I slam it into 2nd. Any idea what this is?

By your description it's just clutch pedal adjustment.
Heynes manual has the procedure, and I think the FSM (Factory Shop Manual) does too. I've gotta get around do doing mine because it's the exact opposite. Mine has *too* much travel,and engages too close to the top.
