As long as you are in the shop, you can do the following:
1. Disconnect the connection to the pedal if you can ( if mechanical ). Remove any springs to the fork.
2. Undo the adjuster so the slave is basically free.
3. Clean everything and put the rod into the slave and run the sleeve to the fork.
4. Turn the sleeve or nut(s) until you can just rock the assembly between the slave and the fork.
The throw out bearing will be just a hair off the fingers of the pressure plate at this point.
5. If you push the sleeve/rod assembly back and forth between the fork and slave, it should move no more than about 1/32 of an inch.
6. Connect the the fork spring if you had one and connect the cable or rod if you had a mechanical actuation.
7. While you are under the car ( with lots of jacks ) ask someone to press the pedal down.
8. Measure the travel distance.
9. Adjust your stop so you have about 1/8" over the recommended travel for the pressure plate. Not much, but enough to allow you to get some driving in.
That should get you to the point where you can "tweek" your setup until it is just right for you.
Hope this helps.
