I bet it would be easier and quicker to just take the seat out depending on your size. I've taken my seat out a few times and it takes all of 3 minutes.

I need to look into this as well b/c I've got that little bit of play too.

pretty easy and straightforward, no real need to take the seat out. Being bendy does help though

Saki, you want to make sure you leave a bit of slack in the clutch pedal; there should be what feels like about a half inch or so of travel before you encounter resistance
Mine definitely created more slack when the MC went bad just from the fluid getting low.

so u want to remove the freeplay between the rod and the firewall part? How do i determine if there is free play. the rod doesnt really move at all unless i back off the 12mm nut.

Mine feels crunchy too (08 model).
In addition 1st gear occasionally jumps out of gear, usually after I've moved off 10-20 yards. One time it jumped out of third.
I wondered if the crunchiness was tricking me into thinking the gear is all the way in when it really isn't, or if there is a fault? or a fault in me...

Cheers

My car has 82K miles and the clutch is almost released before it engages can this be adjusted?

This adjustment is for the PLAY that is in the clutch to the Master Cylinder. Kind of that dead zone. This won't change help you if anything make it worse unless it was improperly adjusted before and putting pressure on the MC making the clutch partially engaged all the time.

If you said it was a hair off the floor then this adjustment would most likely help you but if your foot is almost off the clutch when it engages then this wouldn't make the situation better. You could potentially try and ADD this dead space by doing the opposite of what is suggested but that's your call.
