Your going to have to visually inspect it and see if there is any damage to the cable or any of it's mounting brackets. If the cable is still in good shape, then look for an adjustment to shorten it. There's always a chance that the pressure plate has broken internally and that will require replacing the clutch but check the cable and linkage first. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Adjust it so that you have about an 1/8" of freeplay between the adjustable rod and the throw-out fork.
