Total newbie clutch question

Wow no replies? Lol

You deff want the clutch to release on the top side of the pedal, however if adjusted to far up the clutch may not completely engage, if you have a inspection cover on your bell housing then you can use a feeler gauge to adjust the clutch, i think its supposed to have somewhere around .010 of tolerance between the clutch and flywheel when pedal is depressed but dont hold me to it, maybe someone will chime in, but from what you describe it sounds like its operating corectly.
My clutch releases on the upper end of the pedal too, ive always heard as a general guide you want tthe clutch to be fully disengaged within the first couple inches if pedal movement
