Loosen the locking nut and adjust the other end as needed. What your adjusting is pedal travel vs engagement. You want full engagement of the clutch to ease in shifting but you don't want it to release really high off the ground. That's the point of an andjustable. Maybe 2-3" off the floor at full release you might like. Just keep messing with the adjusting nut till you find a sweet spot.
