Default quick clutch ??

my roommate had to move my car today, I was busy with homework so I threw him the keys, he can drive stick so I didnt worry...

he moved it, came back and said my clutch was weird... his dad's car disengages the clutch when the pedal is pretty much at the floor... mine prolly about 2-4 inches from the floor...

is where my pedal disengages/engages the clutch in a good spot? or is his dad's car just wacked out? I think its a camry...

"Properly adjusted, the clutch will begin to engage or grab about halfway up or so in its travel. If the clutch engages/grabs right off the floor, then you are adjusted too loosely, and if it engages/grabs way too high, then you are too tight"
