    is the way that its made instead of being like oem clutch an aftermarket will let out at the top so you wont need to let it go like a stock one, so usually aftermarket ones that are not oem will let out at the top, those usually are the stage 1,2,3,4 clutch(sorry about the explanation but thats the best i can do right now but hope it helps)

    stage 1 are suppose to be just like oem ( stock ) clutch.
    the ( where it catch ) depends on the pressure plate

    so if it catchs at the top does that mean my pressure plate is going bad?

    Not sure what you mean by letting out at the top... Like a slipping clutch?

    If you're talking about engagement point, is a hydraulic or cable clutch?

    Does it feel like you're spinning your tires and not going anywhere?

    You can adjust the point of engagement if that helps you any. There should be some sort of bolt and rod on the clutch pedal that goes to the slave cylinder. Play with it both ways and see if it still happens.
