Adjustable Clutch Master Cylinders Clutch Slips If the clutch is cable operated then you might need to slacken the cable. Clutches are the opposite of brakes, as they wear brakes get slacker but clutches tighten up.

Good plates would means that they did the job wrong. A greasy flywheel maybe. The pedal is stiffer because they used stronger springs when they did the job.

You should be completely under warranty... the clutch operates ...
