Default Clutch question...

I can put it to the WOOD and the clutch GRAB FINE!.. but it feels like it engages at the top of the clutch petal now since I got it back in March... Ive put about 11k on it..

Went to the track about a month ago and it was like this and had NO problem with it... no slipping, ON TIRE also... It has about 28k miles on it and im just a bolt on car... Should I be concerned? Its like it just going to continue going up and Ill be left on the side of the road..
Or is this just a sign that its goin start slipping?

With 28 K hard miles it could be ready to go to the special parts heaven, the scrap pile.

That's what I just picked up. Seems to be the strongest clutch for the money.

Does a clutch just slowly make its way up the petal before it goes out??

I could see it grabbing at the top of the Petal more cause over time the Clutch material is wearing down and making the Disc thinner..
