Default Transmission noise after lowering clutch engagement

So I had a friend lower the clutch engagement. I was thinking about trying 2 turns, and then maybe 4 turns if it wasn't enough. He told me that he turned it all the way which was about 2 turns, and it can't go anymore. I tested it out, and found that although it does grab just slightly lower, the throw is still just as long. I'm also jerking the car a bit more, but that could be that I'm not used to it.
Otherwise, I noticed that there's some noise that sounds like it's below the car, assuming it's the transmission, and it's like a low grinding sound. Not so much in 1st or 2nd but definitely noticeable in 3rd and 4th.
Is this a coincidence or was the clutch pedal lowered a bit much?
