I had the EXACT same problem....

After driving for a while, the clutch got hard, engagement point went up, and clutch started to slip.
I can't remember which way, but I adjusted the rod and it went away for a while. Then I backed out the upper stop a few turns and it hasn't done it since.

Yep, there should be a nut on the upper adjuster that you loosen. Then there is a little black rectangle thing with the bolt sticking out of it. Just turn it counterclockwise you will see the bolt back out. I know its cramped as hell down there, but it helps if you push on the clutch pedal while doing it.

You need to turn the rod counter-clockwise if you are oriented such that you are looking at the firewall. Basically, the rod needs to go INTO the clutch pedal assembly, effectively making it shorter. Just 1-2 turns should do it. Don't forget to tighten your locking nut back up.

Yes, loosen the nut. Then unscrew the upper stop.

Not all pedal assemblies have the black rectangle thing. Just loosen the locking nut, and screw the rod into the pedal assembly, effectively making it shorter, and retighten.

The top bolt in the picture is welded on. You loosen the bottom bolt and twist it counter clockwise.
