If you are saying that the clutch disengages when you've just pushed the clutch pedal just a little bit, then it sounds like it's perfectly fine. If you want to shorten the pedal travel so that that the engagement will be closer to the floor, then you can do that by adjusting the clutch pedal switch and push rod.

There are some guides, if you do a search for "clutch pedal adjustment". However, here is a post I made about it years ago. Just make absolute sure that there is still some free play in the clutch pedal.
The pedal has two adjuster screws. Both adjustments are made by loosening a locknut at the pedal, then turning the adjuster. One adjustment is to turn the clutch switch that is at the top front of the pedal. The other is to turn the push rod that goes into the clutch master cylinder. These two can be used in combination to remove the excess play and / or change the normal pedal height and stroke.
If you have excess play, and you want to lower the pedal, then just adjust the clutch switch to lower the pedal. If you want to keep the pedal where it is, but reduce the play, then turn the pushrod until it starts to engage the master cylinder. MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE SOME PLAY, OR THE MASTER CYLINDER WILL NOT ALLOW THE CLUTCH TO FULLY ENGAGE.
I adjusted mine so that the clutch starts to disengage the clutch as soon as I start pressing the pedal. This helps to reduce the amount of grinding I get from 1st to 2nd. It also allows me to shift my other gears quickly without pushing the clutch pedal all the way to the floor.
