Did the rod method (not pin-remove method)

Took me about 20minutes. Put it even or about 1mm under the brake pedal.
Free play is given at the top of the clutch (Can press the clutch pedal a bit before i feel resistance). So it disengages properly.
It engages about 1-1,5cm from the floor away.
No grinding. No smell.

Did also the proper test.
Clutch in, first gear -> clunk
Still clutch in, neutral, first gear -> no clunk
Clutch in, wait 3 seconds, first gear -> no clunk

That's too close to the floor. Leave yourself more like 3 cm full disengagement. This allows a hot friction disc to warp a little. It will happen.
