Default adjusting engagement point?

iv got a 98 accord sedan that ive just got, the engagement point of the clutch is fairly high on the pedal and with previous cars ive had them lower to the ground. so is there a way to change the pedal position so that the clutch engages when the pedal is lower to the ground?

anyone know or know where i can find out?

Yes, it's possible, but it's not a simple or worthwhile adjustment. Most Hondas are the same way. You'll get used to it in time, it allows for quicker shifts.

even on a hydraulic system? i thought the only thing one can adjust is the free play which will get you an engagement point but wont allow you to directly adjust it.

for example... you can adjust it so that you have about half a stroke of free play and the clutch will disengage at the bottom but you may have engagement problems.

Exactly. What I'm talking about it making changes in the hydraulic system itself Like I said, not simple or worthwhile.
