New clutch

Just installed a new zoom high performance clutch. Now I have a shutter on take off and in reverse. I had the flywheel machined and all bearings replaced with install. Is this normal? Or is the something I can do to smooth it out?

Could it be that the cable needs adjusted? It also doesn't engage until the pedal is half way up.

Half way up is how it should be. It needs to break in, so give it up to 1000 miles.

It should start biting half way from the ground, that's what I've always heard, and that's what a couple members here have said aswell. Mine bites half way, with a stock clutch.

Yes there is, although I have never done it so I can't really explain it, maybe someone can chime in?
