Clutch Pivot Points on Toyota Gearboxes

Guys
Do toyota boxes, and particularly FWD boxes, have adjustable pivot points.
My new clutch is just NOT working.
The pedal feels like their is air in the system or something (but I have bled it 3 times) and adjusted the slave with a couple of different size rods and everything I can think of
So my last question is, perhaps is it possible to (yes, and take the box off ) adjust the pivot point?
Would and this even make a difference?

if it "feels like their is air", then there is air, or a broken pressure plate!!
different rod lengths & adjusting a fulcrum/pivot won't do anything on a "no spring on the slave & release arm" type design.

Check your slave cylinder sizes between the old and new boxes too Rob, it will all affect the feel of your clutch pedal.

Yeah I tried two different slave cylinders
the one on the new box, and my old one. No real change in feel 
Clint, did you get my PM, about the celica stuff?
I am having NO luck here
What would a broken pressure plate feel like? I noticed when the car is on and in neutral, I can stilkl hear like a faint 'rubbing' in the gearbox area..
