Default Need help with clutch pedal please.

I recently replace the clutch and flywheel in my 05 Z. I got a Competition Stage 4 clutch and a Comp flywheel. I have just finished the break in period. The problem I am having is when I let out the clutch pedal, I can put my foot under the pedal and lift it up maybe 1/4 inch. It mostly happens after it warms up and it does it in every gear. My clutch fluid is full, and I have no grinding issues. I have ran searches on here (maybe not wording right) but havent found my specific problem. Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

The closest thing I can tell you is there is still a little air in your lines. Same thing happened to me after my JWT install several years ago - bleed the clutch for an hour & finally said to heck with it - it never made the clutch or pedal feel funny (xcept for the last 1/4" that it didn't rise) - grabbed with insane grip, no slipping, no "spongy" feeling, etc. Did auto-x, track time, tail of the dragon & no problems ever.

As a followup to this....about 2 1/2 years after the install, I was doing my weekly check of fluid levels & the clutch fluid was down about a 1/4" for the first time ever - checked master cyl., slave cyl., resevoir for leaks - none....filled the resevoir up to full with my Motul hi-temp fluid & the clutch pedal came all the way up for the first time in 2 years - ha! Evidently, whatever air had been in the line finally rose to the resevoir & burped. No difference in performance except now the pedal comes all the way up.

Ever figure this out???? My clutch is doing the same thing, new stage 2 and the clutch does not go all the way up once warmed up. Looking into bleeding the system but I am a noob and have no idea how to di this. Anyone know where I can get instructions on how to bleed the clutch?
