You need a ruler and a work glove. The glove is so you can get a good grip on the adjuster nut, which turns by hand. A second person to sit on the ground outside the driver's door and measure the clutch pedal play would be helpful.
Start by opening the driver's door. Get on your knees outside the door. Put the ruler on top of the clutch pedal with one end touching the firewall. Remember the measurement. Push the clutch pedal with your pinky until it stops. If it only went down 1/2" to 3/4" you don't need to adjust the cable. Any more or less - usually more, because the cable stretches - and you have to adjust it. Open the hood.
First, find the clutch cable adjuster. The cable comes down between the engine and radiator, about in the middle of the car. You will notice a plastic gadget on the cable with an adjusting nut. If you turn the nut clockwise it will reduce the clutch pedal play. If you turn it counterclockwise it will increase it. Turn it a couple turns, recheck the play, and repeat until the play is 1/2" to 3/4".
If you have a helper, that person will hold the pedal down 1/2" while you turn the nut. There's a big washer-looking thing at the very tip of the cable; when it just barely touches the clutch arm, you're done.
