adj. clutch?

i had my car in the dealer getting a clutch plate kit and sensor and ever since i got it back the clutch engages almost all the way out. i only have to push the pedal in about an inch to shift . also it does not go into 3rd gear in comp mode no matter how much i try. this was all good before dealership. the noise i went in for is still there and now i have this. can i adj the clutch myself on this car?

The clutch is hydraulic and not adjustable. My recommendation is to take it back to the dealer to get it fixed correctly. Another dealer is not likely to correct the mistakes of the original dealer.

Probably air in the hydraulic line from the dealer's incompetence!

Air won't cause it to act that way ( way out ). Air makes them spongy feeling and wonit release . Sounds like a pressure plate issue .And I agree with taking back to the dealer that messed it up giving them a chance to correct it.---o6 designs -Bob

Is the noise you hear when you first start the car while it has been parked for a couple of hours? I ask because when I start the car in the morning, it makes some weird noise. I have also notices the clutch has become very soft.

Classic symptom of clutch needing a better bleed. Bleeding hydraulic clutches is time consuming and sometimes tricky. Two things that dealers like to avoid.
