Most companies suggest a 500 mile break in. As far as the pedal sticking it's a hydraulic issue. You can read the sticky at the top of the page for solutions for it

^^^^^def 500. Will depend on how much city driving you do. The more stop and go the faster it breaks in...

Yeah this clutch has been much longer than 500 miles, think there could be a relationship between the chatter and the sticky pedal?

A full face organic disc shouldn't chatter. If you have a rear main seal leaking this could cause it along with it slipping and causing the pedal to stick. How much power are you making?

Did you replace the rear main seal when you did the install or was everything dry?
