New Clutch Engaging Very Early

[zpstang96]

I picked up a new RAM clutch and flywheel to put in during my 4v swap, and the car is finally back on the road after around 7 months. The new clutch is catching maybe an inch off the floor, and I feel like I have to push the clutch pedal through the floor just to get the transmission to shift without grinding. Is there anything that could be causing this?

I'm using the factory t45 and clutch cable. The pedal is consistent but just catches extremely low. The pedal also feels kind of soft when it is disengaged (it has a small amount of play at the top).

Thanks in advance for any help!

Did you readjust the pedal? Put your foot behind the clutch pedal and pull it toward the seat. You will hear the automatic adjustment when it happens.
