Just curious. Mine doesn’t engage until way up high. Seems to me (IF memory serves!) that previous cars I’ve had that were manual transmission, the clutch engaged closer to the floor, not way up high in the stroke.
The stock pedal does have an adjuster. It’s a plastic, toothed piece called a quadrant. Typically you can pull up on the pedal and it’ll adjust higher. I’m not entirely sure how to adjust it back down though. This is only for the stock cable/quadrant setup.Just curious. Mine doesn’t engage until way up high.

The aftermarket offers two products to adjust the clutch engagement point relative to your preferred pedal position: adjustable clutch cables & firewall adjusters.
So you have two choices to get that pedal closer to the floor :
1.) Get an adjustable clutch cable. You can keep your plastic clutch quadrant and you wont have to buy a firewall adjuster. The downside is that you'd have to jack your car up to make an adjustment, which makes dialing in the engagement point a real headache. Just imagine: jacking car, adjusting, then off jacks, driving & testing, cool down if its not right because exhaust is right by trans, and doing that every time, until it's right where you want it. Which leads to the next option which is...
2.) Get a firewall adjuster. You'd need to replace your plastic clutch quadrant with an aluminum clutch quadrant, but you can make adjustments by simply popping the hood and turning a knob. The downside is the aluminum clutch quadrant installation. The installation of the piece itself isn't difficult but access is extremely limited so plan on removing the driver's seat because that sucker is deep under the dash.
If it were my car I'd go with the second option. Both my Mustangs are set-up with the aluminum clutch quadrant, aluminum firewall adjuster and Maximum Motorsports clutch cable. Night & day over stock.
