Default Clutch Problem

I recently had a stage II ACT street/strip clutch installed on my 91 Elipse GS-T, it has a grand total of about 50 miles on it now, and the clutch doesnt seem to engage all the way. The clutch disengages RIGHT off the floor, and is a pain to drive, sometimes it doesn't engage all the way and the tranny will grind. Is this a problem with the way the clutch was installed, or does the car have a pedal adjustment?

Any help would be appreciated

Take it back to the mechanic, and get them to adjust the clutch, thats what I did, and now it's almost like stock, and awith the clutch not engaging it could be a master or slave cylender problem

I am taking it back on wednesday, and since the clutch pedal can be adjusted i think that will fix my probem. But would it hurt to drive it in the mean time, or should i let er sit?

It' doesn't matter, it won't hurt anything and it will break it in faster also.

this is true.. new clutches suck for the first few 100 miles... they just don't have that "feel" to them
