It is hydraulically operated and self-adjusts.

Replacement is listed as a 4.8 hour job and does need some tools not normallykept by a DIY man.

My dealer told me that it was self adjusting but I was kind of skeptical.

I used to own a camry but I guess this might not apply to S40 but anyways

I looked under the dash where the clutch pedal. I had to move the seat all the way to the back and tried to fit my upper body and my head to get close to the bottom.

There was a bolt or something that I had to unscrew with my 12mm wrench and then I grabbed a rod (that goes in towards the engine compartment as you press the clutch pedal) with some tool that I had and I twisted it one way(a couple of times). After that, I pressed the clutch pedal and it was way off so I twisted the rod the other way. At this point, my clutch engagement point was right where I wanted.

The only thing attached to the S40 clutch pedal is the push rod into the master cylinder and that is not adjustable.
