Check the fluid level or make sure you have fluid in it. To adjust the clutch make sure the the engine is at room temp (ambient temp). Go to the do it yourself section in HDF and there is a section on clutch adjustment in there or if you have a service manual use it. It's fairly easy.

Personally, I don't think it's only as simple as clutch adjustment. Should be smooth even if the clutch is out of adjustment. Sounds like a cable problem, or in the mechanism somewhere.

Expert Village and eHow.com also have very good online videos on adjusting the clutch pack and clutch cable.
Here are the URLs:
- Adjusting the Clutch Cable: http://www.expertvillage.com/video/1...clutch-two.htm
-Adjusting the Clutch Pack: http://www.ehow.com/video_2330184_ad...utch-pack.html
The videos are by Master Technician Jerry Fishel who owns Vicious Cycles in Santa Clara, Utah. As per Jerry, the clutch pack should be adjusted first before adjusting the clutch cable.
