1980 Hydraulic Clutch adjustment

928 Experts and more
My 1980 5 Speed with all stock Clutch set up as far as I know seems to have Very little or no Free Pedal Play .
Engagement / Release , is very High up or near the top of the pedal travel

Any Advice or tips on gaining Free play and lower the " Engagement / Release " position on my Clutch pedal .

Perhaps I need to adjust the Dual Clutch Disk / Pressure plate to gain free play ?

Any Links to do that the proper way " Dual Clutch Disk / Pressure plate adjustment "

How is it working : THE GOOD . Clutch works Smooth and feels Normal except for the High Pedal Engagement .
THE BAD : when the Car is good and warmed up upon hard full Throttle acceleration the Clutch begins to slip and I feel no Free Play .
What it feels like : Feels like the Throw out Bearing has not enough free play and is not allowing the Pressure plate to fully Release from the disk yuck .

Is this a sign that the Clutch Disks have worn thin ?
Perhaps their is a inspection hole to inspect the Disk wear

A Hydraulic Clutch should self adjust but this one is not as I don't have normal Free play it seems
like ( 1/4 inch or so )

Happy Motoring 928 lovers
