Default Clutch issues on EG.

I had my clutch replaced awile back with a OEM( because I'm selling the car) ever since I got it back it doesn't want to grab as easy. I mean I had a Oem replacement beaofre putting this one in but it grabbed pretty decent. It's like I have to ride my clutch sometimes because you cant feel the catch point. With it being hydraulic is there anyway to force more pressure on the clutch? COuld they have put the wrong pressure plate back? And every now and they only in first the car shakes really bad where you see the dash shaking. It's not the not enough gas/clutch shake either? Just wondering if it can be fixed because it gets anoyying at times especially in traffic.

is there a "free play" in the clutch panel?

is the throw out bearing good when you take your tranny off?

do you have to pump clutch pedal a few times for it to work smoothly?

Could try replacing master and slave cylinder, these are usually the major cause of clutch pedal feel/fade or it not working.

They replaced both the master and slave along with resurfacing the flywheel. Could it be possible that there are a few air bubbles in the hydraulic lines if not bled right?

bleed the **** out of it to find out.

I connect a small hose to the bleeder screw, then get a 12oz. coke bottle and put some fluid in it. Put the hose down into the fluid and open bleeder screw slightly, start pumping away at clutch, MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THE LEVEL IN THE RESIVOUR! if it goes empty you just put tones of air into the system. Just keep pumping and filling until you don't see anymore bubbles in the coke bottle coming ot of the hose.
