    When driving i noticed that clutch has to be pressed all the way into the floor in order to shift into first gear without problems.

    Whats can i try change the fluid does it use brake fluid DOT or what you suggest using?

    How do i adjust clutch to have less pedal travel to disengage clutch?

    Is the fluid low?

    Might be a bad master cylinder or slave cylinder. Both are cheap to replace.

    No. The master cylinder next to the brake booster. Its bolted straight to the firewall. No vacumm line goes to it. Completely seperate from the brake components

    Yup i would have to agree either its the clutch master cylinder or the slave cylinder, could be losing pressure that or you can look at the book and adjust the pedal height but i would agree and look at the master cylinder and slave cylinder, while your at it might as well look at your pressure plate, throw out bearing, etc. But yea those would be the first things to look at especially if you have to push the clutch all the way in
