Default Bad clutch?

I thought I had one, I had to let the clutch almost all the way out before it would grab. I took it to Clutch Mart on Arden and asked if they did free inspections/adjustments and when he found out I had a 94 Accord, he immediately said no. Then he asked what my problem was and I told him. He came out to my car and sat in the drivers seat and pressed the clutch a few times, then he started the car, put it in first and let off the clutch till it started to go forward. He seen how far the clutch had to be let out and pulled it into the shop, told the tech what the deal was, and the tech got a wrench, went up under the dash, and a minute later told me I was good to go:thumbup: Now I barely have to let off the clutch for it to grab, and the pedal isn't as far out as it was, it was up further than the brake pedal, now it's even w/brake pedal. It goes in so much easier and I used to hear an irritating clicking kinda sound when I press/release the clutch, not anymore. I can now press/release the clutch w/o having to take my heel off the floorboard. Now all I have to do is replace my front rotors, that damn squealing sound is getting to me. Plus the glazed rotors don't help my stopping ability a bit

He adjusted the pressure on the pedal. My friend did that twice on his integra. Then his clutch went. If you engage high again pretty soon, you need a new clutch ASAP. I don't know how you drive so I can say how much wear and tear is on the clutch, but be careful and don't mess it up to much.

Just some advice

Hopefully it'll be fine. We'll see.
