hey guys i recently installed a twin disc mcleod into my 5th gen, new oem slave cylinder, no billet support as i learned of it after install. car feels good already through the break in period, but my pedal release/engagement point is higher then original. its like an inch and a half from the top of travel is this normal point of engagement for twin discs? i do think i need to bleed it more aswell.
this is my first twin disc clutch btw. thanks for any info.

Did they give you any specs for measurements and/or shimming for clearances to the throw out bearing?

I have had two twin disk setups in my camaro and both time it ended up lower than normal and too close to floor. I did not take the time to calculate for shimming and do not see any good instructions on how to do it.
