Default new slave cylinder and clutch

took the car to the mechanic and installed a new stage 2 clutch with slave cylinder... everything worked great.. after a couple weeks of use..
the clutch got a bit softer and feels mushy coming back up... kind of weird.. i had read somewhere that the firmness of the clutch could be adjusted by lifting the drivers side of the car and pumping the pedal ,... but ive been searching and cannot find the procedure.....
any ideas??????
id appreciate the help.. thankssss

Seems like it needs to be bled. Lifting it up and pumping it one one way but not the right way. There is a special ford tool to place on the brake booster and create 20lbs vacuum, pump clutch x3 and then repeat three times.

Here is the instructions just scroll down towards the bottom. http://www.fordracingparts.com/download/instructionsheets/FordInstShtM-7512-A.pdf
