There isn't really any actual adjustment for the clutch. The slave cylinder
can move, but only a little. I see two possibilities:
1: You still need to bleed it more to get all the air out.
2: (Less likely) There is too much accumulated wear in
the mechanical joints and linkages in the pedal, the
master cylinder, and the actuating lever in the bellhousing.
Look at the hole at the very top of the clutch pedal, where
the pushrod attaches, and see if it has worn into an oval shape.
Also check the pin that goes through the hole to see if it
has grooves worn in it. This pin, and the same one
on the brake pedal, should be replaced at the first sign of wear.
These pins are very inexpensive and easy to get. And keep
them lubricated!
