I suggest using your hand because it is easier to feel than it is with your foot. This would mean there is a small amount of slack when at rest. The idea is that you want the clutch fully engaged and that can only happen when the TOB is off of the fingers or only lightly touching them (and spinning as in OEM applications). If it is too tight, there may be enough pressure on the fingers to allow some slipping. This may correct itself as the friction plate wears down. Way too tight and the friction plate will be completely worn before you hit the sweet spot. If there is too much slack, then you may have a lot of movement of the pedal before the clutch is fully disengaged. Way too much slack and your pedal may hit the floor before fully disengaged.
