Default Clutch engagement point?

My MY00 with 8,800 miles on it has a clutch engagement point that requires the pedal to be almost completely out. I've bled the system and it didn't really do much -- nice to have new fluid in there, I am sure.

I've never driven another S2K, but my old SE-R use to grab about 2" off the floor. The S2K's clutch doesn't slip and I've really only tried once to bark it into second and it didn't do it, but that could be my shifting as I don't beat on the car.

I guess I'm curious if having it "grab" close to the top is typical?

Thanks!

It shouldn't be that close to the top. You can adjust the pedal engagement point a bit by twisting the master cylinder piston that connects to the clutch pedal.

Sloth, like Rust, consumes faster than Labour wears, while the used Key is always bright.

My clutch engages about 2 inches or so before it is completely let out. I like it better; i can drive smoother with the engagement point that high but we're all different and enjoy clutch engagement at different points. I had it like that from the beginning and got used to it.
What's everyone else's engagement points at?

Mine grabs in the last 1-2 inches of the stroke (on the way up). This is considered normal and allows for quick shifting without forcing you to put it all the way to the floor.
