Is it possible to lengthen the clutch engagement in a 02J?

So I've had my car about a week (first time driving a manual, I'm getting better at it). One thing that I've noticed is that the clutch begins engaging at around the halfway point and quickly fully engages.

Because of this I can't quickly hit the sweet spot and I either take a while to start from a stop, go too fast in reverse, shift too abruptly, etc.

Is there a way to mod the clutch so that instead of going from 100 to 0% engagement over 5-10% of its travel I have more like 30-40% of the travel to engage it?
