CLUTCH & ADJUSTMENT!!!!!

Ok i have been noticing that my clutch is only engaging near the end of the pedal stroke. It doesn't slip. I have tested for that by putting it in 3rd and flooring it at a low speed to see if it would slip, NO SLIP. Well how can I adjust this so that the clutch makes contact earlier in the clutch pedal travel.

How old is your Centerforce? and which model did you get?
I have the Dual Friction Centerforce and when I first had it installed the clutch would grab right when the pedal leaves the floor.
It's been in there for about 6 months and now it grabs a little higher than when it was new.
My friend put a Performance Ram Kevlar clutch in his 96 T/A and that clutch works the same as yours, grabs when the pedal is almost all the way up. Felt kinda strange for me when I was driving his car the other day, I'd either almost stall the car or burn the clutch, but that sucker has one helluva grip.
