Default Newish Clutch, 2k Miles ~Problem~

I posted this in the MT Section but no reply, Installed a new clutch about 2k miles ago. Nice easy driving, no clutch dumps, clutch engages and disengages just fine, No slipping or anything. The problem I am having is the clutch engagement point is all the way at the top of the pedal. I mean all I have to do is tap the pedal and it is allowing me to shift gears. I have had the clutch bled both by hand and with a pump. I am thinking I need a new Master Cylinder. Any one have some input?

lol love the sig.. anyways, whats wrong with that? now you can probably really rip thru the gears! what kind of clutch was it? my CF engages totally diff from stock, I think thats the way it is w/ aftermarket clutches. getting an adj master cylinder should let you adjust the engagement point I would imagine. never drivin a car w/ an adj MC but..thats what they do right? eh..don't listen to me, wait for some one who knows more about MC's than me to chime in or PM tick or thesource, hes really knowlegable on man. trans stuff.

It just sucks for around town driving. I dont drive my car during the winter months. But come summer time she sees the road. I usually ride my R1 the most, but still she sees the road. When I first installed the clutch the engagement point was about half way, I forgot the brand of clutch (Have the paper work some place) But it was a stage 2 street/strip

Yeah, thats why I am thinking its a bad Master Cylinder. Either that or the previous owner had an Adj installed and it someone Adj itself. I am only the 3rd owner of the car though. So who knows
