clutch pedal adjustment

hey guys.

is there a good video on youtube maybe to explain how to adjust a clutch pedal? i have heard many times its a nut you loosen on the rod but i have not been able to figure out how to do it. everytime i loosen anything on the rod, nothing at all will move or adjust

My buddie has a Nissan and the clutch is as smooth as a baby's butt.
Easy to press.
Not hard to press at all.
Its amazing.
Id love to get mine like that...
Any tips?

Well...I dont do any rock crawling...I play in the mud occasionally...So most of my driving is on the street.
Would you go with as marlin clutch kit, or just get one from autozone?
Ive heard nothing but good things from marlin, But i dont have a whole lot of money to spare right now...

Marlin is great and they have great service after the sale.
---But I will share a secret ----go to partsgeek.com you can buy OEM parts just like Marlin sells for less money. Nothing against Marlin -- I just like to save $$ when I can
