Greg,
Loose is fast, but also on the edge of sliding it too much and glazing the disc. That requires disassembly and knocking the glaze off the disc. Adjusting a clutch with the right bellhousing can be accomplished in less than 10 min. It takes longer to get the car in the air. You also do not have to adjust the clutch that often, in my experience. I have over 200 passes on my clutch and have yet to have it serviced. Every off season I pull it and check everything and bead blast the discs to clean it. It is then that the discs and pressure plate are checked for how much material has been lost on the disc, and the pressure plate is shimmed to accommodate the disc wear, if needed. There is a little bit more to this but that kind of narrows it down.
