clutch question
i was wondering if its normal for the clutch pedal to start to engage around the middle of the clutch travel? it seems to grab kinda high. the clutch seems to grab fine and all i got about 63k miles but it seems to be either engaged or disengaged like it has a short span of engagement. is this normal for the s2k>

it doesnt slip and if i shift hard to second it spins the tires and if i drop the clutch it will do burnouts. if i am in 4th say at like 40 mph and push the clutch in and give it a little gas and let the clutch out it doesnt even come colse to slippn. the clutch begins to engage about halfway from the ground. it just seems to have a short engagment span in the pedal

You have 63k on your clutch
If you keep doing this, you won't have a clutch. I can't believe you do burnouts on a clutch with 63k miles and it still works
There is absolutely no reason to purposely slip the clutch in 4th gear at 40 mph when you can either just leave it alone in 4th, or downshift to 3rd. What you describe will kill your clutch.
If your clutch doesn't slip, and it engages 1/2 way up, it is good. When you say short engagement, does it chatter? If it doesn't chatter, it is good. If you can slip it smoothly upon engaging from a standstill without chatter, quit ing with it

There are better ways to check to see if the clutch is slipping. Those ways you have indicated are NOT good ways. I may very well be that you have worn your clutch down significantly but you've done it in such a way that it still does not "slip".
Clutch "chatter" is like a windshield wiper blade that doesn't glide across the glass smoothly. It wants to slide but it "catches" along the way.

Is the chatter that everyone is speaking of a result of fully engaging the clutch/transmission at too low an RPM to get the car moving easily, kind of "bogging" the engine? (IE. approx 500-700rpm?) Also, can someone tell me if this kind of "bogging" of the engine at low rpm can cause any long-term damage to the engine? Any insight would be greatly appreciated, and I hope my question is sufficiently on topic!
