Default Help Quick Clutch engaging really low

I just went to pick up my 99TA from the shop where they just put in a new CF clutch ,flywheel ,pilot bearing and upgraded oem slave. When I took it out I realized U have to put the clutch pedal to the carpet for it to disengage and even then the gears are hard to get into but when i told them it wasnt very good they told me they bled it a bunch of times and theres no more they can do. HELP ME ANY IDEAS

I wish I had the answer. I just tested mine at the shop and it's doing the same thing with the LS7 clutch and Fidanza flywheel. I told them to pull it again and put in a slave shim. So far I'm into it $880 in new parts (LS7 clutch kit, Fidanza LS2 flywheel, new master w/ drill mod, new slave, new pilot bearing) and almost $700 in labor. Soon to add another 4 hours in shop labor.

For me, I had an adjustable master in the car and the shop convinced me to put a new OEM master back in because they had plenty of high HP cars without any hydarulic issues with the stock master.
