Clutch issues!

I drive an 03 sport with a 5spd manual tranny. The clutch engages really high up in the pedal travel is that the way the clutch comes from the factory or could it be going bad .the travel From where the pedal is totally depressed to where the clutch engages is like 4in and the pedal only moves 6.5in. Also every once and a while when I think its in thrid and let the clutch out the gear grinds. Its like it was half way into gear.


Also I keep reading that manual transmissions have an issue with some plugs that after 100,000 miles they just pop out. Would this be an issue with my tranny later on down the road or was this common in the older models?
