Default late clutch engagement..?

my friend installed a new clutch on his car, I believe its an action 6 puck sprung clutch. anyways, when we went for a test drive, the clutch engages all the way at the top, what can be causing this?

It sounds to me like you need to adjust the clutch pedal...

Behind the pedal arm, you will find a threaded rod that connects to the master cylinder through the firewall. Loosen the nut and turn the threaded rod until your engagement is where you want it. (Don't forget to tighten the nut when you're done! )

Hope this helps,

Is there anyway to adjust the pressure of the clutch pedal?

pressure plate probably on too tight....18 ft lbs is the proper torque for those bolts
