Default spec stage 3 question

clutch has been installed for about 3000 miles and still holds great but the engagement point has change from the middle of the pedel travel to right up at the top. I barely have to push the pedel in to get it to release the clutch. This all happened after a couple of hard launches on slicks.
the clutch or somthing is also making a little grinding sound when you start out in first or reverse, i also broke the tranny mount but don't think this has anything to do with the prob.

Mine is somewhat similar. I've had it for about 1500 miles and it holds really nice, but seems like it slips more than it should at low rpms or taking off. Does yours do that or is there a distinct point of engagement/disengagement?

no mine does not slip at all in fact it feels like it grabs harder it has just moved in engagment point. and is kind of awkward to drive because it engages and disengages in about the first 1/2 inch of pedle travel.

you need to get a adjustable master before the engagement moves far enough up that you clutch dont fully disengage and burns up if its not doing it already.
