These clutches are not hydraulic; thus, do not use fluid. To adjust the clutch, pull up on the pedal with your foot; then press down. If it clicks, it adjusted itself. Mine won't even pull up for some reason.
Others more knowledgeable will chime in, but I can tell you it's not clutch fluid, and it's probably not in need of a clutch adjustment. Mine can be hard to go in gear in the cold weather sometimes. I know you can siphon out the MTX fluid and reinstall new tranny fluid to have smoother shifts, but yours may be more serious.
Do you have to force it into all gears or just certain ones?

The fill plug is on the front of the transmission (facing the front of the car)
its a 3/8's ratchet plug. use a 3 inch ext and be careful.
Once you change the fluid (by using regular ATF) you should notice improved shifts.
