If there is any play in the top of the pedal, it needs to be adjusted out. It will kill your clutch.

you have to adjust it from the inside of the car on the floor board. there is adjustment. its a 12 mm nut and very hard to adjust but you can do it.

In all honesty, you need to adjust any new clutch when you install it. I would probably find a new mechanic if I was you. There are many well qualified ones all over the United States. Forged Performance is only two states away from you located right outside of Atlanta. Clutches are very difficult to get warrantied especially when you say that it wasn't adjusted correctly by your mechanic. You will need to purchase a new clutch, pressure plate, and probably have the flywheel resurfaced or get a new flywheel. This could end up being a costly mistake on the mechanics fault. Sorry about your luck.
