Adjusting the clutch to change how much acceleration is needed when pulling away?

I dont really know much about cars.



Is it possible to adjust the clutch so that the car accelerates more when you just lift the clutch, without actually using much gas? I drive a Hyundai Getz which starts fairly quickly just by lifting the clutch, but I also drive a Ford Fiesta which requires gas to get started otherwise it's difficult not to stall.



Is it possible to change my Ford Fiesta in a way so that it does not require so much acceleration to start? Do I need to make the biting point higher or something like that?

Hydraulic clutch. There is no adjusting that can be done.Adjusting the clutch to change how much acceleration is needed when pulling away?
You can try adjusting the clutch rod in to get a better bite, but depending on overall power, gearing, and wear to the clutch disc, this may not help muchAdjusting the clutch to change how much acceleration is needed when pulling away?
Most clutches are self adjusting.When they wear out they start to %26quot;slip%26quot;,and require more gas to get moving.The Ford Fiesta sounds like a tune up is required.I would try a dose of carb cleaner-injector cleaner before anything else.And a new air filter,sparkplugs and fuel filter.
