I should have come back sooner, I actually bitched out of the clutch swap. I took it to a local shop for a second opinion and they say the clutch is still fine, as it grabs enough to stall the motor in any gear at any RPM.

I have decided to change out the clutch line and possibly the slave cylinder to try and get a better catch point on the pedal. Which I will do this weekend and report back with any results.

If nothing else I will ride this clutch out until it actually starts to fail, regardless of how much I hate the engagement point on the pedal.

$1000 is $1000 amirite?

Don't bother with the line. Cosmetic. The narrower slave cylinder doesn't change the engagement point. It will still be near the top but travel will be shorter and engagement more crisp.
