Question Clutch Ajustment?

I am making this post for my cousin who is looking at a Trans Am WS6 to buy, and apparently it is flawless except for a clutch issue. (car has 40k on it) From what the guy said, you have to push the clutch all the way to the floor for it to disengage. My clutch has been just fine so far so i dont know anything about adjusting them if thats even possible.

Basically:
-Does that sound right for a car with only 40k on it?
-Is it possible to adjust the clutch?
-If so is it complicated, or something a guy with fairly good knowledge about cars could handle (has done a clutch swap on another car)
-Last but not least, how do you adjust it? [assuming you can]

My cousin plans on taking it for a test drive in the coming week (and I will probably go with him) to experience it first hand... however the guy will only let him test drive it in the parking lot with him in the car. That sounds kinda fishy to me

Any help/tips would be appreciated

Re: Clutch Ajustment?

A clutch that dissengages all the way at the floor is bad. at 40K if it's the originall clutch it might be a sign that it's on it's way out. If not I think you can bleed the clutch line.
