Default SPEC St 1 is in...

Now I have a question for those of you with these clutches...or I guess any new clutch.

Drove the car home, to work, and back home since it's been done for a total of around 50 miles. I am getting a smell like burnt clutch when I pull to a stop....I've driven all highway miles, so maybe I've had 30-40 shifts...max. Is this normal? I emailed the shop that did the install with no response yet...want to make sure before I take the day off tomorrow and put some much needed miles on.

500-600 miles then when u start driving it hard it will do it then. its never fully broke in untill about 3000 miles. the feel will get alot better after 100 or soo then take it easy untill about 500, then easily start working it up. it will get better and u will love it

It feels good so far...clutch is lighter than my stock clutch...it's a little notchy yet, but I think it's a combination of me not going over 2500 rpms and getting used to not having the grabbing point right at the floor ha

My clutch releases about an inch from the top. I dont even have to move my leg...I just tilt my foot! Its pretty sweet...really fast shifts. I kinda don't want to change it, but its starting to slip like mad.
