Hmm, that seems a bit odd to me. When the clutch was on its absolute last leg, it was impossible to stall it and I'd have the pedal nearly all the way out before it'd feel it engage. That was with a bad pressure plate, clutch, and flywheel.

It is opposite day or something???

Agreed, either it sounds like some air in the system or does the clutch pedal have any mechanical adjustment?
I know on my Porsche it uses a turnbuckle adjustment from the pedal that inturn pushes on the clutch master cylinder piston. And when I changed clutches in it the pedal had to be adjusted.

I took it back yesterday and he said there was probably air in the line. He was right, apparently. Now, it's not engaging near the floor anymore .

It should be broken in by now. It shifts sooooooooooooooo great!

No grinding since the clutch job. Before I took it in after the clutch was installed, it was catching close the the floor.

Before the clutch was replaced, everything was fooooked. The tranny was the only part that survived the ordeal.

It was slipping, and it was slipping some kinda bad. I could barely get the car to move in order to get it to the shop.

Actually, No. It went in to gear just fine. However, I had to slip it in order to get the car moving.
