Default mushy clutch

Hi guys,
Picked up an 08 JKU with 9k miles on it 2 months ago and I had a question about the clutch. My last car, an infiniti g37 coupe had a clutch wound as tight as a drum but the jeep just feels mushy(for lack of a better word). Is there a way to tighten up the pedal or clutch so I can 'feel' the clutch engage better or is that just the way it is.

As long as it's shifting normally, it's probably normal and you're just not used to it. I drove a WRX one time and was suprised how stiff and short the clutch pedal was

When you do need to replace the clutch, opt for the Centerforce Dual-force. Lighter pedal, much quicker engagement. I think you'll like it.
