Urgent: Need help..how to adjust clutch freeplay?

This is not the same as the engagement point adjustment DIY.
My clutch has ZERO freeplay after it has been installed.
It starts slipping the moment you begin to depress the clutch. This will most likely cause premature wear...
The manual states that it absolutely has to have 10 - 15mm of freeplay or there will be premature wear.
How do I adjust this freeplay? I want to add freeplay.

My clutch pedal lowers itself in the morning. I have to pull it up with my feet and pump it a few times before it returns to its original position... what's wrong?

you probably need to replace your master/slave cylinder.

Or sounds like the clutch hydraulic system might need bleeding.
You just got that ORC clutch done, right?
