2002 clutch pedal adjustment

I tried to do a search but was unable to perform one and then looked in other areas for info but could not find anything on it. I have a 2002 with 45k and the dealer replaced my 6 spd under warranty along with a new clutch about 8,000 miles ago. Since the first day of getting the car back I have not been pleased with the clutch pedal height. The clutch does not engage until it's almost to the top... How do you adjust the clutch pedal to get the clutch to engage sooner?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your quick reply! After reading the previous thread on this subject I am concerned about premature clutch wear from adjustng the clutch pedal height. Can anyone confirm if this is a safe mod?

I'm sure you can adjust it a tad...where it won't affect the clutch's life....

I've got it done to my car. Have had it for 2 years now. without any problems. You have to take the car out and drive it in like 4th gear at 50mph and see what the rpms are. Adjust the cluth where u like it but not too much and go and test it out again in same gear at same speed. Make sure the rpms are at exactly the same. I did this and it worked great. My clutch pedal engages about half an inch from the floor.
