Message so it is possible it needs adjusted. I would definitely make sure the clutch engages closer to the floor. On the other hand, never go full throttle on a new clutch disk of any type, probably for about 500 miles or more, you are just asking for a good thick glaze to form on it that will take a while to get rid of...especially organic street clutches. New clutches are always supposed to be "broken-in" otherwise they glaze just like new brake pads that haven't been seated in the rotors. There are always unseen tiny high and low spots on the surface which must wear into the pad to fully contact the entire surface of the flywheel. When I was much younger, I put in my first clutch and the first thing I did was drive out of the city limits and drop it at 7k. I had been dropping it for the past several years doing smoky burnouts and sliding sideways and being a general fool LOL but this time it only moved forward a few feet, then it was completely glazed for 5 minutes, and would not even move until it cooled down. Always break in a clutch.
