clutch pedal and engagement issues

So I realize my clutch pedal sits really low towards the floor and it really doesn't take much pressure off the pedal to engage it into gear... I change the clutch cylinder added steel braided hose from master to slave and I still have the same problem... The pedal sits way lower than the brake and gas I have no idea what's wrong can anyone help please... Car has new clutch installed too

There is an adjustment for the pedal. Do some searching for the procedure to adjust it.

I adjusted it and bled the line just like they said to on the how to section... Where the pedal sits I literally have yo lift it to meet the same level as the brake and gas pedal... I can lightly push the clutch and it's already close to the floor...I would say 4-5 inches

Its probably just the travel on your new clutch then. If you are getting proper engagement / disengagement then really there isnt a problem. You can adjust the pedal out further if you desire, you will be hitting full release before you get to the floor though.

what kind of clutch is it? and who installed it?

I just had a similar issue with my exedy triple. It was a twin but i did the conversion to the triple and it engaged on the floor. i havent found out what the problem is yet but when i switched to a bran new twin it works just fine now. I replaced all the lines, master and slave and nothing worked untill i just got a new clutch.

Improper installation can cause the clutch to not work properly also. like when installing if you let the tranny in put shaft hang on the clutch it can warp the disk or pressure plate and cause issues like your having.
