Default 3rd Clutch

I have an 06 mustang gt with a manual tramsmission. Ford has replaced the clutch 2 times and i have just recently put in the Hay street strip clutch. it woks great at first and then after about 500 miles the clutch pedal feels weird and it starts shifting very hard and eventually not at all. The clutch pedal itself floats all around. sometime it will release as soon as you lift it off the floor and sometimes it will release the last half inch just before you take your foot off. what could be wrong? no one can seem to fix it. its been to 3 dealerships and 1 performance shop. any healp greatly appriciated. thank you

Is the slave cylinder getting replaced with those clutch jobs? Those clutch pedal symptoms point to that. Also, the clutches in these cars can be notoriously hard to bleed. Ford's by the book method is the use of vacuum at the brake fluid reservoir.

Just some ideas...

I agree with jwgroovin, especially considering the age/mileage of the new clutch.
