Give it a launch or 2, and try not to part drive the clutch, they are not designed for sitting in traffic.. can occasionally get problems with mine in heavy traffic.. especially pulling away in 2nd

The clutch itself is hydraulic so you cant adjust the engagement point as such but you can adjust the amount of slack in the cable a little I believe.

You can get a little adjustment where the pedal is connected to the rod/piston on the clutch master cylinder inside the drivers footwell, but it rarely needs doing.
