Question Clutch adjustment

For those of you who happened to watch any of my burnouts on Saturday, this problem is (relatively) unrelated:

2 WEEKS AGO (ahem...) I noitced that my clutch was slipping in higher gears (3,4, and 5). Heavy throttle applications, revs would just climb. I also noticed that the clutch takeup seemed to happen at the top of the pedal travel.

At the fling, I felt the same thing. I could easily white the tires in 2nd, but if I was cruising in 3rd or higher gear, and I got on the gas, the revs would climb (with no resulting increase in speed).

I haven't been able to diagnose if the clutch fork is coming back all the way (hydraulic clutch). Is there a chance that if I adjust the pushrod from the slave cylinder to the fork to be shorter, that this would alleviate the problem? Only 1800 miles on the clutch and not much of it has been like my weekend in London.

It feels like something in the adjustment. It used to take up about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way on the pedal travel, now it's in the last 1/2 inch.

Thanks...
JP
