Don't know what size clutch you may have but clutch adjustment is simple.
If the linkage is stock there is a dog leg on the clutch release fork. That has 2 nuts - one on each side. Loosen the outer one & tighten the inner one to remove slack. I adjust mine to have about 1/2 " free play where the rubber block on the arm hits the floor board.
Good luck. Maybe you don't need a new clutch
