How would one adjust the grab point on a hydraulic Volvo 740 clutch? Does this involve shimming the pivot ball?

Been there, not done that! No provision in the design for adjusting the release / engagement point on the 740 hydraulic clutch system.
I don't think the shim idea will work as all it does is push the slave piston back into the slave cylinder. The amount of slave piston travel (and pedal travel) required to move the release fork remains unchanged (unless you shim it so much that you start to preload the release fork).
The best solution would be a master cylinder with a slightly larger bore. This would increase the ratio of slave piston to master piston movement giving you earlier release; but, would give you a slightly stiffer pedal.
Ummm... isn't it the nature of the clutch to be fully depressed to the floor when shifting? Maybe you're thinking of *brake* masters, that (in a good system) only use 1/2 or less of their travel?Do *not* fully depress the clutch to bleed, see above.
