I just recently got a Act street clutch with hd pressure plate. After it was installed, clutch engaged really low, about an inch off the floor. I then adjusted the mc rod and engagement was fine. However, after I adjusted the rod, my clutch stiffens up when warm and engages near the top. It gets so bad I slip in first. When the car is cooled down again the clutch returns to normal. Im almost positive this is temp related. Ive done some research and came up with clutch "pump up" anyone know how to fix this?

did u get a new flywheel? if not, did u resurface it? u could have a warped flywheel and as the metal heats up it expands, allowing more clutch travel

or if the pressure plate isnt torqued down right it would cause similar problems
