Stock clutch is always going to engage at the top and it will move upward even more as it wears.

If looking to go with an aftermarket clutch the Clutch Masters will have the engagement at the top too and the OEM pedal feel. South Bend HD clutch will move it to mid pedal with a stiffer then stock pedal feel, their SS clutch moves the engagement down to the floor and way stiffer pedal feel.

No kidding, I wish I had known this before I got my SouthBend, I feel like I'm mashing a can every time.

It isn't slipping, so we're good! Although I drive hard, I get into gear before getting on the throttle, and in 1st am off the clutch by 5mph (starting ~1300 RPM). I just dunno how long I can expect it will last
