I have a ford ranger I purchased recently from a friend on mine that had it since new. he has a business that takes his trucks all over the U.S. So all highway miles. Just before I bought this the transmissin was completly rebuilt along with a new clutch assembly about 8000 prior to my buying it. But the clutch edal goes just about 1/2 way to the floor b4 it engages making it hard to shift along with when the trucks rpm goes to about 2700 rpms it lacks power. I feel this is due to the clutch adjustment is way to much. What is the best way to adjust this clutch?

Hi
Clutch actuator is hydraulic and has no adjustment. Try bleeding system at bleeder port on trans. Say lacks power at all speeds? can't rev up to red line? do RPMS go up but no increase in speed
Let me know
Thanks for donate
