My engagement point was extremely low to the floor so I tried to adjust the clutch by turning the rod counter clockwise if you're in the drivers seat. I went to check the engagement point and the clutch had almost no pressure, would this be air in the line? There are very few threads showing on the adjustment rod to give u an idea of how its adjusted.
 
I have always used a washer under the clutch fork piviot ball. This brings the clutch fork out a hair and so much more adjustment is gained.
 
Do you have any info on how to put the washer there? Am I adjusting in the right direction? My clutch was fine for quite a while and I crashed into a snow bank and immediately after I couldnt shift. I cleared the snow from my engine bay and then could shift again after a few pumps. I've bled the clutch but I think maybe air got back in? That's assuming though that I adjusted the clutch properly.
 
You'd have to seperate the trans and engine to add that washer. Keep it simple and try bleeding your clutch first.
