Too much free play in clutch

Thank you, I think I'm understanding now. I found this picture in a different thread : Link
Just focusing on the linkage portion and "spacer" piece in that picture - is that where the spacer is supposed to go?

Basically yes, the outer position will give you more leverage and make the clutch easier to push. Either position will work.

Thanks. I checked and the spacer piece is in fact there. Everything about the linkage seems right, so I can't figure out why i need to push the pedal down almost 4 inches before the clutch becomes disengaged.

Could it be a sign of a worn out clutch disc? I always thought that if the clutch is worn it takes a longer distance to engage, and not to disengage, but I could be wrong. Any thoughts?
