Default Brand new clutch feels odd (haven't driven)

So i just finished my clutch job and it feels like the clutch travel is a lot less and it will grab lower.

Is there an adjustment period for the clutch to "break in" in terms of feeling?

It might feel different as far as force goes but overall movement should be pretty similar. I would check the attachment point on the clutch pedal and possibly bleed the system as well to be sure before ya ruin a nice new clutch.

Oh yea it would be good to let everyone know what kind of new clutch you put in as well to get some first hand experience from those who have done the same.

SOS and sos braided steel line. I also installed a new CMC at the same time but i did leave the adjustment on the CMC as it came stock...

Time to play around i guess.

Thanks
