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?

You may have to bleed it.

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.
