no I think is the short answer Dia.. the cable should be auto adjust.. I guess that a new cable may help but I really don't know..

In a couple of weeks I am going to see if an old style manual cable will fit instead (xant '99) ,if it does, it should give me room to adjust the pedal height..

Diabolical says it is a hydraulic clutch,

i dont know if there is any adjustment that can be made to the length of the rod between the pedel and master cylinder, as on some brake push rod's

I'm 99% certain there is no adjustment on the hydraulic clutch.
