I would agree with you it shouldn't be a warranty issue, but I have been down the path already. I went in and complained it was too high and they claimed normal and Subaru claimed normal. Which is to cover their behind for lemon law reasons. And because this manufacturer they likes the clutch release high. I stated to Subaru that I would adjust it if they thought it was normal and Fuji responded on your own if you do, which I don't believe would be enforceable, but I am just telling you what I got. So I appealed to the shop forman and he discussed with Subaru/Fuji and he adjusted it to the "lower end of the specification range".
I fully agree with you you should be able to adjust it, their argument is that if you adjust it to less than a ~4.2 to ~4.4 range, or whatever it is, I don't have it in front of me now, then you are adjusting it out of spec. I think its total bull, as long as you have the free play at the top and it engages above the floor so that you know its fully disengaged and there is no reverse or first grinding at a stand still there is no issue. The shop foreman who is tops did say beign at the fringe of the range like that may not matter in summer, but might not fully disengage in cold weather. Don't know the fluid dyanmics well enought to know about that
Bottom line is it shouldn't be so high and mine is adjusted and working like a champ now.
