Clutch gone or do I just need to re-adjust the pedal?

Question Clutch gone or do I just need to re-adjust the pedal?

I recently had a new clutch installed (CCI stage 3 w/ ACT Streetlight flywheel) since the stocker had finally bit the dust. Considering my basic bolt-ons and a mild driving style I figured the new setup would last for a long time. Recently, however, I've found that I can barely drive the car, let alone get into much boost. I adhered to the proper break-in procedures and have only put a few thousand miles on the new clutch. My question is this: could an improperly adjusted clutch pedal be the cause of my issues? I've never had the pedal adjusted and it has always released on the high side. Before spending the $$ for a new clutch/install, I wanted to see if a mal-adjusted clutch pedal could mimic a slipping clutch (IIRC I've heard that it can). Thanks in advance for the help!

Absolutely it can and considering what your saying it's a very likely possibility. Your clutch with your mods and the period of use just doesn't add up to a worn clutch.

Adjust the clutch pedal before you think about a new clutch.
