Yes.  The place to start is at the clutch slave.  Different books give
different clearances, but even as little as 1mm will work fine.  However the
clearance gets smaller as the clutch wears, so the tighter you set it to
begin with, the more often it has to be readjusted.  You don't want to ever
let it go to zero.

There is also some adjustment available at the pedal stop and pushrod.
Again there must be some clearance, but it can be quite small.  With all of
the play taken up, there doesn't need to be more than about .010" (.25mm)
between the pedal end and the stop screw.  You can also lengthen or shorten
the pushrod to achieve some adjustment in pedal position (followed by
resetting the stop screw of course).
