    brand new stock clutch and machined fly wheel installed successfully, but now the pedal travel feels wayyyy longer before it engages. ive only driven about 100kms, will this adjust over time as it breaks in ?

    They machine too much off the fly?

    I didn't check the SAC, but now I'm worried that could be the problem.. The car shifts amazing. It's just the pedal travel issue which has me now thinking it might be the SAC, but it doesn't have all the symptoms of out of adjustment ? I'm freaking out I don't wanna pull the trans back out..

    If you reused the pressure plate and didn't reset the sac you have problems my friend. Depending how much they took off the flywheel can help but...

    I forgot the mention that, everything is brand new. Clutch, pressure plate, Tob. The new clutch should have been properly adjusted shouldn't it have ? How much would have had to be machined off the fly wheel for it to cause this. I don't fully understand how the sac works, but I'm under the impression it might tighten up after a few hundred miles of driving.
