NEW CLUTCH IS IN but werid feeling now

Alright well i just put a new clutch in my car, didnt unhook my slave cylinder lines. And now the pedal goes to the floor pretty easy. it does return all the way. is this normal for a new clutch? its a f1 stage three with a new flywheel.

How much pedal free play do you have?
Is the disengagement point closer to the floor?
Do you have difficulties getting into gear with the car running?
Why in the world would you need a stage-3 clutch anyway?

It goes into gear better acctually before i put it in it ground in 4th a little. and it engages about halfway. with a new clutch breakin, is some funky sounds normal? and iam planning on turboing her in a year or so and i got the clutch for a good price thats why i went with a stage 3

I have the same clutch, I noticed the force to depress the pedal was much less, and it does make noises, some time's it squeals and rattles. Have you noticed the pedal staying on the floor for a second or two when shifting at around 8k ? I also needed to adjust the pedal free play at the master cylinder.

I'm with Razz, I was going to say sounds like you might need to bleed your clutch lines.
