Time for clutch adjustment?

I've noticed as of late a mild lurching when I'm getting out of 1st gear.

At first I attributed it to my new footwear (dress shoes, as opposed to my normal sneakers), but I figured that I'd be acclimated by now. Truth is, I am a little better in sneakers, but 1st still lurches sometimes, not always.

I'm thinking to see if it's time to have the clutch adjusted. It's only at 40k, but I did learn stick on this truck two years ago, and the first few weeks included a lot of stalling, clutch slip, and a few accidental wheel chirps. Maybe I wore the clutch more during that period.

Does this sound like a reasonable assessment? And if so, would this be too challenging task to undertake for someone without much mechanical experience?
