You want an 1" of free play with no resistance at all. In your bellhousing there is a throwout bearing that spins when you push on the clutch to disengage it. The free play keeps the bearing from spinning when you don't press the pedal. so it will not wear out.

You are absolutely correct. I always pull the inspection cover and adjust the gap between the bearing and the pressure plate fingers. Your clutch adjustment will always be correct then. I have adjusted just the free play in the pedal and burned up a bearing and damaged the pressure plate fingers. Never again.
