Question Clutch adjustment?

1988 Mustang GT 5.0 5 spd

Do 1988 5 spd's have auto or manual clutch adjustment?

If manual, how do I go about adjusting it? And the location?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated...
Thank you.

It's automatic but you have to manually do it, LOL!! Pull the clutch pedal all the way up then push it all the way to the floor. If any adjustment is needed, it will do it on it's own. You may even hear the adjusting paw clicking across the quadrant.

Won't pulling up and instigating the ratchet action leave the cable taut?

Quick question for my 95. I am noticing more & more that when my car is sitting there idling the clutch is squeaking. Any ideas what would be causing this?
