It's more a question of how much free travel you have from pedal all the 
way down until the clutch engages.  Insufficient travel would mean that 
the clutch would engage right off the bottom.  If this is the case then 
the clutch is still dragging a little bit.

Of course your clutch could be defective and doesn't release 
completely.  We usually didn't pay much attention to the pilot bushings, 
sometimes we would put a dab of grease on them but we never soaked them 
in oil.
