My 04 clutch feels like my friends 03 clutch. Strong, doesn't really grab till the top (if that makes sense).

You might try adjusting the clutch pedal. You can change the pedal position so it will grab when you want it to. Also check your fluid level in the clutch master cylinder...if its low your clutch may feel spongy.

thanks for the input so far guys.

monoxide, if thats the case, it worries me that maybe my car is messed up?

as far as adjusting the clutch pedal, im not too familiar with these technical things. are there writeups regarding this? or is anyone free to maybe check out my car to make sure its not broken?

My friend just told me that either in MY 03 or MY 04 they've changed the master cylinder to have a valve to let the clutch release slower which may make it feel a bit smoother. It was placed there to try and prevent people from dumping the clutch and breaking the all mighty subaru clutch.
