2001.5 PASSATS and their CLUTCHES

Ok on my passat, the clutch is high... Meaning i have to bring the clutch damn near all the way to the top before it engages. Now someone told me that on some cars the clutch is high like that but someone also told me that it could mean that the clutch is almost gone....
How are the clutches on your B5s... are they high?
or do you think my clutch is about to go.
