Default clutch engagment

so i drove an mk5 2.0t gti today... i liked it a lot... its got the hp and tq... its small and quick..

but anyway it was stick... and it had a pretty early engagment point.. which shocked the crap out of me... and everyone told me that thats what mind should be at too

i can press my clutch down less than an inch(no exaggeration) and disengage.......i honestly dont think the clutch is bad... supposedly its been changed at 50k im at 80k... it could have gone bad i guess... but if there was another solution it would probably be it...

is there a clutch engagment adjustment **** or tool or something... driving the a4 home was dissapointing after driving the gti with a nice clutch engagement point

Id really like to say yes, but im not 100% positive because my uncle finished up on the clutch when we were doing the install.

dude...I'd bet your clutch wasn't replaced at 50k....cuz my clutch is on its way out (110k) and it engages the same as yours....

our clutch egagement point can be adjusted I believe...and a new clutch will usually always engage closer to da floor

my stock clutch engaged literally less than a quarter inch from the top, i could shift by just tapping that b!tch. my stage 5 clutch is the exact opposite, right at the floor

it won't be at the very top like it is now. when i first got the car, the engagement was high but was no where near like it was when the clutch started slipping
