Thanks

Mark, your pressure plate fingers may be mis-adjusted, requiring extra pedal travel before full release. The clutch should be fully released before the pedal gets to the floor, even with 1/2"of extra pad.

Note that pedal free-play decreases as the clutch disk wears, so you will need to keep a close eye on the free-play adjustment if you drive it much.
