Default Installed new clutch, funny feel.

I installed my competiton clutch stage 4 the other day and the pedal feels somewhat different than my old action 1MS. The first inch or inch and a half of pedal travel feels dead basically then the last inch or two is quite springy and stiff.

Is this normal with this clutch? Did I mess something up on my install?

Why should I bleed it when I never opened the system?

I second the bleeding idea. It takes what, 5 mins. This will also let you know if you have to adjust the shaft or not.

You sir, are a retard.

I asked what the logic was behind it since I never touched the system itself. I dont know how it works entirely so I was looking for insight. Why dont you go e-thug somewhere else.

It'll probably feel different because it's a different clutch, but yeah I'd go ahead and bleed it just to be sure, as they said it doesn't take long.
