Default New Clutch Getting Stuck Halfway Down

Any ideas what the problem here could be?

My clutch basically get's stuck halfway between all the way down and all the way up. It engages between all the way up and the point it gets stuck at.

It's a new clutch, so do you have any ideas what the problem could be?

Thanks,

Did you bleed the hydraulic fluid?

I'd take it back to the shop that did the clutch change...

It could be from the hydraulic fluid bleed or they did not get the throw out fork seated correctly or the slave cyl push rod, etc...

BTW...what clutch kit did you install...specifically what pressure plate?

Apparently, he didn't do the work.

To the OP: just take it back to the place you paid to do the work.
