I just did this to my vehicle. Overall it's much easier to drive. Pardon the disjointedness of the text. just did a quick log to keep notes of what adjustments I made.
Log for those I consulted with about the adjustment and for me to keep track of how much I adjusted:
9840 miles
Noted dead play of pedal. Can press it in using my hand about an inch before the hydraulics apply resistance.
Very little lateral wiggle.
Marked the south axis of the rod coming out of the master cylinder.
To break loose the nut place 12mm wrench on the rod's lock nut and turn towards the gas pedal.
I lightly pressed on clutch with my hand and rotated the knob away from the gas pedal. This will make the rod thread more into the u-joint and lower the clutch pedal.
I did 3 full turns. For me this lowered my clutch pedal about dead even with the brake pedal.
Locked the rod's nut by turning the nut away from the gas pedal. Hand torqued
Checked dead play. Same as before. Weird. Pedal travel feels cut in half now according to foot meter
Thanks Chris for the verbal guidance on testing.
Started car fine. Slots into 3rd gear fine. Then tried first. Good. Grab point is now more of an on off switch versus the high grab point of 1/3 of the full travel. Barely let off and it grabs. Knob slides into reverse well. Didn't hear any grinding or crunching noises
Success! I think. Drives great. I had issues with notchy/gritty/crunchy(?) shifts before when short shifting, and this helps but doesn't fully butterize my shifting. May have to switch fluids again.
