You can ignore. The rod was not at the end. (It was there back before I replaced the clutch) The nut to keep it from loosening was loose and worked it's way back. Re-adjusted and now the clutch fully engages about 2" from top of pedal position.

I was inspecting the bushing (still in good shape) when I noticed.

Drove uncles 2013 GTI couple nights ago and about the same pedal position for engagement. Takes some getting used to, but .. night and day. Little jabs to shift.
