Are their means for adjustment of the clutch.
It doesn't seem to slip, just very short point of engagement. Never change a clutch on a front wheel drive. I would like to, my skill level is more of the older 70-80 vehicals. not sure.

ADJUSTMENTS CLUTCH CABLE Clutch cable is self-adjusting. When properly installed, spring on clutch pedal will hold clutch cable in proper position, regardless of clutch disc wear. CROSSOVER CABLE NOTE: Only crossover cable is adjustable. Selector cable is not adjustable. 1.Remove shift console. Loosen crossover cable adjustment screw at shift lever. See Fig. 1 . Using a 1/4" drill bit, pin transaxle crossover lever in 3-4 neutral position. Align hole in crossover lever with hole in boss on transaxle case. Ensure drill bit goes at least 1/2" into transaxle case. See Fig. 2 . 2.Allow shifter to rest in neutral position (shifter is spring-loaded and self-centering). Tighten adjustment screw to 70 INCH lbs. (8 N.m). Remove drill bit. Ensure shift lever shifts into all gears. Install shift console
