Clutch confusion on '89 Turbo

After a hard search for my first Saab, ( I am nineteen) I finally found a '89 Turbo in Malachite green with a decent paint job and at a decent price..$1600.00. It has 181,000 miles and I knew it needed some drivetrain work.To make a long story short, I had to have the tranny rebuilt and a new clutch put in, plus a motor mount and some other items. The car is much better now but I still have one concern. Before all the work the clutch, which had started to slip, wasn't engaging until almost all the way to the top of the pedal. After all the work including the new clutch disk, pressure plate and throw out bearing, the clutch still lets out almost at the top of the pedal. The good reputable Saab mechanic here ( Saucon Foreign Motors) says that the clutch is non-adjustable and that I shouldn't worry about it. But it doesn't feel or engage like the clutch on my Dad's '89 9000 Turbo. Anyone have any reccomendations? It's hard to spend over $2000.00 and still have this funky feeling clutch.
