How to ajust clutch

there is no clutch adjustment. If it is slipping then the problem may be in the master cylinder compensating port and the fix is a new clutch master cylinder (cheapest fix) or bleed the system first (even cheaper fix)

You need to replace the clutch slave.....Ii recently did mine, after the installation it was stuck too.......the way I fix it was I had a friend pumping the clutch by hand while I bleed it under the car, it took about 15-20 minutes before it got hard again.
Good luck!

Hey, i'm looking to buy a used 2003 volkswagon passat gls 2.8 v6 manuel, the clutch doesn't engage befor it's almost all the way out,i told the dealer but he says that the clutch is fine...

here's what you can do to fix your clutch.

1. if your clutch still uses clutch cable (there is a cable between the transmision and the clutch pedal), the you can adjust the clutch release by tightening/loosen the clutch pedal. adjustments can be done on the transmission side of the clutch cable.
2. hydrovac clutch with self correcting feature. just pull your clutch pedal for a few seconds and check if the clutch release changes.
3. hydrovac clutch without self correcting. between the clutch pedal and the clutch master, you can see a piece of metal rod that connects the 2. this metal is called push rod. there are screws/nuts at the clutch pedal to adjust this push rod. just adjust this screw to your prefered clutch release.

My clutch is on the floor , is there any temporary fix

When the clutch pedal is stuck to the floor - most likely the master clutch cylinder seal is leaking clutch fluid. Temp fix is to refill the clutch fluid canister and pull the pedal back by hand. Do this several times till the presure is back.

Long term fix is to replace the seal in the master and slave clutch cylinder.
