Default A4 B6 3.0 V6 Cabriolet Clutch Adjustment

Apologies if there is already a thread with this info but I couldn't find it.
Does the Clutch in the B6 3.0 Cabriolet have any adjustment? as my clutch biting point is a little high for my liking but it's not slipping yet.
Thanks in advance for any help.

this is not entirely true. to do it on our car without modifying the pushrod on the slave cylinder involves a bit of work. the oem clutch as well as some aftermarket clutches have an adjustable pressure plate which must be set when installing the clutch. this also affects the engagement height and is used so it keeps the same height as the clutch wears.

secondly on some cars(not all) have an adjustable push rod on the clutch pedal.

I got schooled!! No worries, and thanks, I like learning things......I've never had to adjust one, just put them in and the pedal was always around the same. I thought it may be possible (and you schooled me), however, never had the insight to look into it. But I just did and found a few things like this:

DIY
"Look underneath the dash, you should see a threaded rod on the clutch pedal to the self adjusting assembly. Loosen the locking nut with a (10mm) wrench. Turn the treaded rod with a pliers or another wrench as you feel the pedal. If you grind going in reverse, you wnet too far :-) Actually, you will see the pedal move down, so you can tell when enough is enough."
