I saw the other posts on this but I dont know if I have the same issue. I just bought the car, it was driving fine.. He just put a new clutch in the car, its still breaking in. He never messed with the engagment point and it was really high. Now it isnt fully engaging, when the clutch pedal is all the way out it seems like its riding the clutch. Other posts say that the engagment is low and it grinds into gear so I figure mine is doing the opposite. Do I just need to do the clutch adjustment with the rod ontop of the clutch pedal? Can anyone post a good pic of a 2g so I dont mess anything up? I'm a newb.

These vids should help you a lot. It sounds like you're experiencing 2g pedal pump up, or that you've just got your pedal adjusted so high that there's no pump up and your clutch just isn't allowed to fully engage. Either way, not good and similar symptoms and similar results if left untreated: dead clutch.

Adjust your clutch pedal so you have a good amount of freeplay at the top and then refer to Jack's first video.

What do you mean freeplay? just adjust it so its engaging like half way?
