Clutch engagement too low!

Hey everyone, I just got my clutch/flywheel replaced with Clutchmasters Stage 1 and NISMO flywheel, as well as the pivot ball and shift fork. Now the clutch seems to fully engage about 1/4 inch off the floor. It's pretty hard to drive smoothly, and I'm concerned its not disengaging fully with the clutch depressed.

I found lots of threads about lowering the shift point, but not much about raising it. Should I do the lowering process but thread the shaft the other way to raise it? Or am I better off just taking it back to the people who did the work? With all the $$$ in parts and labor, I want to make sure it doesn't get screwed up.

I've been "lurking" for a while but this is my 1st post, so thanks for your thoughts.

Well I just got my clutch replaced with a exedy stage 1 and the same thing happened to me but after a week it went back to the normal engagement point and a lot smoother too.

You can try adjusting clutch cable by loosening locknut and turning clutch cable counter clockwise 1/2 turn at a time until engagement is satisfified.
