Clutch Engagement Point

I have recently noticed that the engagement point on my clutch is a little abnormally high. At first, I thought that this was a bad sign for my clutch, but it is a relatively new clutch and for the most part I have babied it. I was wondering if it is possible to adjust this so the engagement point is a little more comfortable, or if this is a legitimate sign of a dying clutch. Any input you guys have would be greatly appreciated.

This has been a common complaint. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I feel mine is that way as well. 28k miles later, no problems.

I do notice that when I let out the clutch it actually is starting to engage much lower than I think, since it has that feeling of engaging close to the top. Let out the clutch very slowly with just enough gas to keep it from stalling. I think, as I did, you'll notice it engaging much lower than you think. I did.
