i have a 1989 civic hatchback. a month or two ago i put in a new stage one clutch because the stock one gave out on me. i didnt have the chance to drive it before i put the new clutch on but the friction point on the clutch now is different from anyother car i have ever driven. it is small. i mean, most of the clutch is just free play but a small section controls the whole clutch. any ideas on why? or is it just how the clutch is on these cars?

 

anyone have any idea at all? anything will help

 

Try adjusting the clutch pedal:
