Default Adjustable Clutch

Latley Ive been having trouble pushing the clutch in all the way with my big feet and new steeda floor mats.
It seems that I have to push the clutch in all the way to the carpet for it to engage fully for fast shifting. It its not in 100% all the way it will grind.

Is there a way to adjust the clutch so I dont have to have it rubbing against the floor to engage fully? Could I make it higher, or have a lesser depress motion?

Thanks again

my clutch isnt doing that. I dont want it to come out any farther than it is. It is already way above the break pedal and I just want it to when its is depress fully it isnt hitting the floor.

i just cut the plastic mats so the clutch pedal doesnt touch it at all even when fully engaged, but i bought the cheap kind from costco. there is a little part where the clutch pedal Arm contacts the mat before the pedal itself that is wearing the mat, so that might not let you fully engage the clutch. i also have a short/high engagement point w/ the quadrant which might make a difference

did you at least take out the 'stock' carpet floor mats?

I have new floow mats from steeda, but the clutch always slips to the center of my shoe and I cant fully depress the clutch unless I use my toes. Ide like to make the cluth have shorter travel and not go as far down.
