Default Clutch Engagement/Dilemma

Ok guys I already researched a lot of the threads about engagement points and etc.

I have a 2000 GSR with 75k miles and the clutch doesn't slip, etc. and still runs strong. But it engages at about 3/4 the way up!! Is that how it's supposed to be because I heard other people's tegs engage like near the bottom. I want my engagement point (catch point) near the bottom.

My clutch doesn't slip at all and is still very strong as I mentioned.

My pedals is 6.5" above the floorboard and the freeplay is about 0.5" which is right.

A mechanic told me since the engagement point is near the top, my clutch is worn, but I was like wtf, everything else is perfect!! What should I do?? Help thanks!!

It could be worn, but stll not slip.


Also, I thought yiou could only adjust whereit engages on cable trannies, not hydraulic trannys?

If I'm wrong, I apologize, but I've been told before that I cant adjust it since its hydraulic.

No you can't, integras have hydraulic systems that adjust to wear. You can't adjust it

yes. It may be worn, just not enough to slip.

The closer the engagement point gets to the top = its more worn.
Eventually it will come to a point where it will slip and stuff like that.
