New Clutch engaging late in the pedal travel
I just got my car back from the dealer after they installed a new clutch, CSC, master and clutch pedal return spring...., now it doesn't engage until the pedal is almost at the end of the pedal travel when I am about to take my foot off of the pedal. It seems to be very late engaging. Normal? Anything they can do to adjust it so it engages earlier?
Thanks

Marcel is the wavy spring in between the 2 clutch facings on street kits, it allows the clutch to engage smoother and cushion the engagement and will also gauge where the pedal starts to grab. This can be changed by the manufacturer, how much or how little depending on the car, set-up or pressure plate needs.
We've tested all the South Bend Clutch Kits in the 370Z/G37 so we know how much marcel we want to get the clutch to release fully and not be super high on the pedal nor too low making the clutch have release issues.
Stage 2 kits we order with full marcel to allow them to drive very smooth with a mid point engagement. Stage 3 kits are ordered with no marcel so they release properly and with the stage 3 pressure plate design will allow the pedal to be at about mid-point on release. Of course we can customize any kit to fit a persons wants/needs.
