If the clutch was installed correctly it should be fairly smooth, what flywheel are you using with it? It will take a little time to break in and will probably smooth out some with miles. I believe you got the stage 2 kit which is normally a good driving kit.

Yeah, I've been driving it more now to break it in and I believe the clutch cable adjustments off
But the clutch over all is feeling a lot better now

If you reused the stock flywheel it cannot be resurfaced. That can cause some judder on take off since you are putting a new clutch on a used surface, More miles will some times help smooth it out.

If the pedal is changing engagement points they probably don't have it bled right or the master cylinder is failing and causing it, We always recommend a new master when the slave or clutch is changed. Keeps this from happening after the work is completed. A lot of times when you open this hydraulic system the original clutch master no longer want's to work correctly.

My mechanic also got me a new OEM master cylinder as well. I had no clue about the fly wheel, if I did I would've purchased a new one

Also I don't think my clutch was adjusted correctly because it's engaging a lot higher than before

Thanks for all the help
