Can you adjust the clutch on a 1999 ford laser

The clutch is not adjustable it is fully hydraulic. That means it is self adjusting, if the clutch pedal engages high on the pedal and the clutch is hard to push you need a new clutch plate and pressure plate.

Take it to a Ford dealer or good mechanic

the clutch is a fluid clutch system and has no adjustment. the symptoms that you describe suggest to me that the clutch is worn out and needs replacing.

No it is a self adjusting hydraulic type. If it slips or the pedal has no play the clutch disk is worn out.

Sounds like either the air gap between the a/c clutch and the pulley is to far..Or the clutch itself is bad..You can remove the bolt in the middle of the clutch,,Work the face of the clutch off,,and take out the washer..If there is 2 washers then remove one of them,,and reinstall..If there is only one ,,try it with no washer...The washer adjusts the air gap

The clutch is not fully releasing. You can try putting it into some other gear first, then rapidly moving to first gear, but really, you need to either adjust the clutch, or get it repaired.

On the old 911's you could adjust the clutch. The new ones are hydraulic and self adjusting. Sounds like you need a new clutch.

you can check under the clutch pedal for an adjuster and if not there look under car/truck and it will be a bar that comes from the clutch pedal. and if thiers no adjuster then its a hydroulic and you should go to a shop.

if it is a hydralic clutch there is no adjustment. and if it is leaking on the transmission you need a new slave cylinder.
hope i provided some information for you
please leave me feed back
thank you

Check both high pressure and low pressure switches if a/c still won't come on check resistance at the clutch your a/c clutch is bad and will have to be replaced.
