I have a little free play in the clutch pedal since doing the clutch pedal adjustment. Will this make the free play even larger?
Thanks!

I removed the spring and adjusted the pedal to slightly lower than the brake pedal. After a couple years like that, I recently moved the clutch pedal up a little bit so it's just a tad higher than the brake pedal now and I feel it works better all around, at least for me and my car.
There's a little bit of free play at the top of the pedal travel but that's unavoidable. Adjusting the pedal doesn't make it any worse. Removing the spring makes it more obvious that it's there because the spring isn't pushing the pedal up to take up the slack. But it doesn't hurt anything as long as the clutch is fully returning on its own power.
Be sure to follow Ultramaroon's advice for verifying that the travel is correct and seating properly when released. It's really all quite simple to do once you've contorted yourself under the dashboard. Also be sure to set the sensor properly - the button does not have to be fully depressed to work. I left about a 1-2mm gap between the pedal and the button housing to ensure that it does not interfere with the pedal travel at all.
