They (the dealer) are probably ajusted your clutch too high (similar to their stock clutch). That was what they did to my ACT and it was eventually gone within 5k miles. Have the clutch check and re-adjust if neccessary by someone who know. Hope it helps.
i didnt get the clutch done by the dealer got it done by a mechanic i dont think he even adjusted it to be honest. but one i first had the clutch it was grabbing in the middle it was GREAT now its just extremly hight thanks guys how long does it usually take to bleed a clutch thanks

My Exedy feels the same. It was grabby for the first 1000miles or so, now it has a bit over 2000 and it engages a bit higher and feels weak when it engages unless shifting at redline (racing). I can practically dump the clutch (during light/normal driving on the street) when I shift 1->2, or 3->4 and you can barely notice I shifted.
I adjusted the engagement point so the clutch engages a bit lower but it's still not like before. I'm going to adjust it some more.
I know the Exedy instructions recommends my clutch be adjusted at ~ 1500miles, and then when needed.
So, maybe your clutch engagament (at the pedal) also needs to be adjusted.

is there anyway to kno if your clutch is getting weaker or slipping i kno mine cant be but worse case sceniro thanks yeah when i race it grips tho but when driving normal feels extremly week but while racing didnt feel like when i first got it it feels weaker
ive done that already but how long should you bleed the clutch im think i still have air in it but i did it like 15 times air still coming out too so i dont kno if its going to be like that or need to keep going thanks
i do havre a stainless steal clutch line think it can be leaking or something improper install anyway by kno if its not keeping pressure too sorry so many questions just dont want to fri my clutch just got it cost alot of $$$$ thanks
Make sure to fill the reservoir to the neck and watch it fill to the other pocket. The reservoir has two compartment, large part for brakes and small part for clutch. If you bleed it, you need to keep over filling it since the clutch side don't hold much of the fluid.
