Clutch Engagement

All,
Does anyone else feel like the clutch engages higher than on other manuals? I had an '08 GTS and the clutch felt like it engaged at the floor, while my X feels like it engages half of the way up. Is it like this for everyone else?

Yes, I believe that this is normal. Evo X engagement is a bit higher.

I was just about to post a thread about this topic lol. My clutch engages ridiculously high. I want to get it adjusted by the dealer. I'm not sure if the dealer would adjust it under new car warranty. People tend to burn clutches faster the higher it grabs. My feet get tired sitting at a hill and holding it right before it engages to get the car rolling without slipping the clutch too much.

Theres got to be a way to adjust the clutch engagement. I did take a look by the pedal and sure enough it looks totally different from the evo 8-9's. Any input from the service manual?
