Default Need help with a problem my tuner cant figure out!

Im frustrated as hell ...someone please help!
about a two weeks after the TT install and ACT clutch / JWT flywheel combo.

i was driving (normaly) on the highway and when i clutched in to shift gears something friggin weird happened. the friction point lowered by about 4-5 inches and at any point above the friction point the pedal is as loose as an 80 yr old granny. my tuner says its maybe a defective pressure plate? is that possible? its brand new! WTF ? there was a hell of a lot of chatter after the install, as well there was a retarted squeeking noise everytime i engaged the clutch....

im stumped....someone help!

thats exactly what happens when the clutch heats up too much.. so it does sound like a problem with the pressure plate

i would use a SS clutch line, if you dont have one already, and double check for leaks.
