But hey I see your not a daily driver, clutches do take time to break in just like rear ends, so I am talking stop and go driving for like 500 miles but should take less. If it gets too noisy or grabby if your down low trying to "creep" that's not good for now but some have a higher rpm idle and stall speed to worry about. And avoiding riding the clutch its a exercise in coasting repeatedly for me to drive under 15 mph or so because my take off rpm is about 1500 rpm.
IMO let it work for a while, bleed the little amount you have clutch fluid and if you have not thoroughly checked your slave and its bearing support ? do it suspiciously, its just going to take time to break in the new clutch and see if its needing the hydraulics set up better or the pads worn in slightly also.... And some clutches have chatter which can be a intermittent tapping... and I am glad mine doesn't, though if I leave my foot resting on the pedal I can feel any road vibration and anything the pedal pics up from the flywheel spinning - You may decide you would have been better with just the stock clutch when it comes to noise or function. Good luck , hope it works out.

Thank you for the feedback!!
So you think I should bleed the clutch again? And how do I check the slave and bearing support without dropping the trans?
