Seems like he really knows his stuff. I just want to know if this is what I have to do to adjust my clutch the right way.

Video isn't working. Are you talking about bleeding you're clutch? What are you talking about?

I am a little lost on what he is talking about in this video... is he trying to adjust the clutch so that it has a smooth transition from disengaged to engaged and visversa? Because if so then this might be helpful for me. My wife's 05 mazda3 has a very even and smooth transition from engaged to disengaged. My 90 hatch however does not. I have about 6 inches of travel altogether (thats a guess as will be all these numbers but they will be close) the first inch to inch and a half is play does not disengage the transmission. The next inch (inch and a half would be a generous maximum guess) goes from completely engaged to completely disengaged. The remainder 4ish inches do nothing. Just stays disengaged. My clutch does not slip and my clutch fluid is at the perfect mark. To my knowledge my clutch is factory spec, but I drove a 90 civic si with an exedy stage 2 and it did the same thing...

Welcome to 240 clutch hell! haha. The thing is nightmareish with the loopback block. Get rid of it. Ditch it like a money grubbing girl that does not know the word "recession".
