Something's up with my stock clutch

Also, you don't have to push the clutch pedal passed the point of disengagement. A lower engagement point just equals more pedal travel. I'm not sure how it could possibly improve "feel" as you suggest.

With the exception of professional drivers, I can't imagine your foot travel is any different during hard (racing) shifts between a high engagement point and a low engagement point. You're pretty much going to be stomping on the clutch as hard and quickly as possible (all the way to the floor) and then letting off quickly and completely. I have a really low engagement but it is also super short. In a racing application I would adjust the upper switch, too, so that it stops the pedal barely above the engagement range. That way, as soon as I touch the pedal, it is manipulating the clutch. This allows the lower engagement point without the extra pedal travel.
