its not hydraulic its a cable. if it has a firwall adjuster, adjustable clutch quadrant, or an adjustable cable, you can adjust it at the said points. if not, you need to buy at least one of the three. the stock quadrant is self adjusting. hope that helps.

if it's the stock quadrant, you lift up on the clutch pedal to adjust it. If it's stock, a fire wall adjustor and an aluminum quadrant to replace the plastic stock unit is a good mod.
