If your 1993 Mustang LX clutch isn't working correctly, the problem likely lies in one of these areas:
* Low Clutch Fluid: Check the master cylinder reservoir (usually near the brake master cylinder) and add DOT 3 brake fluid if it's low. Low fluid can lead to a soft or spongy clutch pedal. *Never mix different types of brake fluid*.
* Leaking Master Cylinder: A leak in the master cylinder will also result in a soft pedal and clutch failure. You'll likely need to replace the master cylinder if it's leaking.
* Leaking Slave Cylinder: A leak in the slave cylinder (located at the transmission) will also cause problems. This often leads to a clutch that won't disengage properly. Replacing the slave cylinder is usually necessary.
* Worn Clutch Disc/Pressure Plate: If the clutch feels weak, slips when engaging, or engages too high up in the pedal travel, the clutch disc and/or pressure plate are likely worn out. This requires a complete clutch replacement – a major job.
* Air in the Hydraulic System: Air in the hydraulic lines can cause a spongy or unresponsive clutch pedal. Bleeding the clutch system might resolve this issue. This requires two people and a special bleed kit or a pressure bleeder.
In short: You can't adjust the 1993 Mustang LX clutch; you need to troubleshoot and likely repair or replace components of the hydraulic system. If you're not comfortable working on car brakes or hydraulic systems, it's best to take your car to a qualified mechanic. Attempting repairs yourself without proper experience could lead to further damage or injury.
