Not really.
I'm with Doc.....try pumping the pedal up and down a few time before holding down and putting it in gear. See if that helps.
If it does, it's probably got air in the clutch line. In my 1500, I usually bleed at the bottom and them at the top. There's no bleeder screw at the top.....you just have someone pump and then hold the clutch pedal down. While it's down, loosen the line where it goes into the clutch master. It's a messy job, but it can often get that last bit of air out.
If the system is bled and it still gives trouble, look at the clevis pins than attach the top of the pedal to the clutch master cylinder rod. If they even a *little* loose, you can "lose" a lot of motion.
