Default Very soft clutch

Hi guys, i need your help.
Its a simple question to a person that knows.
WHERE IS THE CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT?
I know what i have to do to adjust the clutch but im looking for the clutch adjustment for 2 days and nothing. I have a 1988 Jaguar XJS 3.6

It has an hydraulic clutch I believe. Therefore no adjustment once it has been installed. What are your symptoms? Apart from the actual clutch plates wearing out, about the only thing that can fail is the master and slave seals. This would give crunchy shifts as the clutch plates will not properly disengage, usually worse when the engine is hot.
