I seem to be having an issue with my clutch and I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I just had my transmission rebuilt under warranty (the shifting forks were broken - the shift between 1st and 2nd gear grinded at high rpms).
I have noticed that my clutch release point is really high now. I start driving it, and it's fine at first, but as I continue driving, the pressure seems to push my clutch out a lot further than usual. The clutch seems to literally push back considerably more as I continue driving it.

The clutch itself doesn't seem to slip more than it should, but for some reason the pressure seems to be quite a bit more when releasing the clutch in all gears causing my release point to almost be 1-2" before it's fully disengaged. It never did this before the transmission got rebuilt. I saw the TSB for the clutch release issue, but I was wondering if there was anything else it could be? I've never owned a MT before, but from what I've read this doesn't sound like a clutch wearing issue. Also, since it seems to drive fine once I start it up for a bit, I would assume it's not clutch wear, but I could be completely off. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

you could always take it back to the dealer with your concern. or get someone else to drive it... there may be no problem at all

but generally a high engage/disengage is a sign of a worn clutch
