Need a clutch?
 

My CJ clutch pedal engages 1/2 inch off the floor. It seems to grab fine. I
just bought it last week. Or does it need adjusting??

Adjusting.

You worry when it is at the top and can't adjust any more down.

I set mine up higher than 'I' like it so my wife with short legs can
drive it easily. I am 6'4" with a 37" inseam and my wife is 5'2".

The book says you should have 1/2" of flop at the top end of the pedal.
If not, you have linkage or mount issues likely.

You might want to check the pivot points on the linkage. If an engine
or tranny mount is bad, the clutch pedal will change radically. The bar
from the body to the bell housing also needs grease witch most folks
don't know, there is a grease nipple on it.

No it was like that when I got it. It's a YJ tub on a CJ...wonder if there
is adjustment issues that can't be resolved. Will get under there tomorrow.
Thanks!
