Right now it feels like I'm not pressing the clutch pedal down enough to shift gears because every once in awhile when I downshift to 2nd for a turn the gears want to grind.

With the 350Z and clutch adjustment, I remember adjusting it in the wrong direction and getting almost the same feeling as if the clutch wasn't fully disengaged despite the pedal being fully depressed. It would allow me to engage sooner, but that was the draw back. To alleviate this issue, I had to raise the engagement point.

Right now the engagement point feels a bit lower than stock (near the top). It makes me wonder if this adjustment will help resolve this issue.
