New exedy clutch doesn't fully engage/slips
I just installed an Exedy 3-puck clutch and a Fidanza flywheel.
Here's the problem:
When the clutch pedal is completly let off and in first gear or reverse the car moves but it's obvious that the clutch slips a lot. I can let off the clutch quickly and the car won't even jerk or stall.
What do you think is wrong?
A mechanic I know suggested lowering the material where the pressure plate bolts onto the flywheel. He thinks the problem may be that there might be too much distance for the clutch to engage completly.
Is there a possibility that the clutch isn't completly engaged due to the clutch slave master cylinder? Meaning the throwout bearing is always pushing a bit on the clutch?

Exedy provides specific instructions on adjusting the clutch pedal. Start there. I didn't have any problems with mine, but other people I know had issues until the pedal was set correctly.
