You can adjust the clutch release from inside the car on the back of the pedal. Take a 12 and 14mm spanner with you (can't remember which it is off the top of my head), then stick your head under the dash. On the clutch pedal you should see the rod going to the clutch cylinder and a lock nut on the rod. Crack that nut loose and you should be able to turn the rod with your fingers and wind it out to give it a bit more length. Adjust until you are happy with the bite point then tighten up the locking nut.
It's also a good idea for people who think they've dodgy syncros in the box to check the release point of the clutch on the pedal travel. If your clutch bites just off the floor and your gears crutch, more than likely it's just the pedal that needs adjusting.
