Default Installed DualFriction Clutch...How long?

Well I installed the clutch, and it has 900+/- miles. any way it is still like an on off thing, and if you try to take off at 1,200rpm's the car will stall, unless you ride the clutch (and I mean ride it). And everyone has said there pedal is just a little heaver than stock feel, well not mine, it fells like my buddys stage 3 clutchmaster.
And I have let alot of other people drive my car, and they all do the same thing I do, so it's not me.

Will this on/off deal ever go away. I want it to engage like the stock used to.

After the break in, I spent pretty much every Thursday and some Saturdays at the track. I usually launched between 5200-5800 RPM, no slipping at all. And this weekend (if everything goes as planned) I'll have the turbo on. I'll keep you up on how it holds up then....

Mine was never like that until I had close to 30,000 miles on it and I smoked it sitting in a huge traffic jam I was stuck in for hours.It felt like stock when 1st installed but after that traffic jam it started acting like that.

At 1st it was stiff as hell and almost no play to release it. Now it acts like stock but grips like a SOB....
