Clutch Gonna go

uhh ..this aint no chevy. We have hydrolic clutches. I should engage at about the same point everytime. Now if you werent able the shift into other gears easy or you got tons of noise coming from the bell housing thatd be a dif story.

Neither does my 82 Corvette - it's an automatic... hmmm, since it is an auto, I guess the clutches inside actually are hydraulic...

I would reconfirm the diagnosis of a bad clutch with another shop before you bite the bullet for a new one.
Check your master and slave cylinder first. A failing cylinder or one that is adjusted incorrectly will cause strange pedal problems. AFJuvat

i dunno what they were saying, it feels fine to me. It wont engage until the pedal is almost all the way out. like a 3/4 of the way out.

Don't know if you saw it, but on Discovery American Hod Rod, they just rebuilt 56 Chevy they pulled out of the junkyard. They spent 8 weeks on it and redid everything. Looks very sweet.
