Clutch engagment changed on me.

So I got an ACT heavy duty sprung 6 puck clutch this summer cuz the stock one went out. After it was installed I bled the clutch line and adjusted the clutch engagment point to be fairly low. Over a few weeks I've noticed that the engagment point has risen to the top of the pedal. Also last week I didnt drive the car for a day, so the next morning when I get in the clutch pedal is halfway down, and I had to pull it up for it to feel normal again. What could this be? Should I just bleed the clutch line again and try readjusting it? or could it be a problem with the seal rings on the master or slave cylinder? Also I am using the stock rubber clutch cable, could it have expanded and is that what is causing this?

I would bleed the clutch again. Note: it is somewhat difficult with the clutch restrictor in but if you have access to a pressure bleeder then it is no problem. I can almost be certain that you have air in system.

would it help if I took out the restrictor pill and then bled the clutch line?

I had a problem with mine sticking in half way too. For me it was a bolt fell out of my slave cylinder! Maybe check the bolts too??
