Default Proper Clutch Adjustment?

I would imagine every guys' is different? My clutch kicks in about half way up from the floor before i can shift, and every now and than may grind just a lil in reverse, which way do i need to go, loosen or tighten?

Grinding into reverse is not neccessarily a misadjusted clutch.

You need to wait for the input shaft/clutch disc to stop spinning before you can engage reverse.
Either hit any forward gear to engage the synchronizer or wait a couple seconds longer.

OR get a 93 like I have an let the reverse synchronizer to the work.
