Craftsman T110 Riding Mower - Clutch WAY too sensitive!

Craftsman T110 Riding Mower - Let's say that when the brake-clutch pedal is depressed all the way, that's position "1"; and when it is released all the way (you take your foot off of it), let's call that position "10." When you are releasing the brake-clutch pedal, it goes to about position "8" without having any effect - nothing happens. Then from position "8" to "9" is ALL of the effect of the clutch. In other words, it's hard to keep it from jerking forward because all of the effectiveness of the clutch happens within the top half inch or so of the travel of the clutch. Is that adjustable to smooth it out?
