Put my money on the return spring for the pedal. If your clutch engages
near the top of the travel then don't touch the adjustment. If your
pedal engages near the bottom, then check your brake fluid level. The MC
may have taken a sip of air. If this is the case then check your brake
pressure regulator. They seem to leak first on the car, right under the
brake MC(master cylinder).

Let me know how you make out.
