The clutch height can be adjusted as far as I know. On my 01 Prelude
(30k km) the clutch engages within the middle third of the total pedal
travel. On a friend's 90 Integra (130k km) it is in the bottom quarter.
His clutch disengages completely only when the pedal hits the floor and
over a smaller distance than on my Prelude. There is nothing wrong with
his clutch, that's the way he adjusted it.
