Default clutch adjustment

i just fixed a broken fluid line and now it grinds to get into first almost everytime. Im figuring the clutch needs a adjustment from being push all the way down several times when i was trying to fix the problem. Does anyone know how i can go about doing this? Or do you think its something else.

i believe we have a sticky on this, ill try and find it. But do a search cuz this has been discussed. Its basically a rod behind the clutch pedal. Did you properly bleed the lines?

those are the only two things i can think of with what you worked on. I would think the lines not being bled would be the problem. Or not enough fluid. Im hoping its not a syncro. but i dont see how that would just happen. Its a possibility though

see but someone was saying that it was these pins in my shifters alignment or something i dont know but I think its because i was pushing the clutch all the way to the floor and it got un adjusted and now if i knew how i would just try to re adjust it because first gears is like the one that needs the most clutch isnt it and none of the other gears are grinding so i dont know
