Default Clutch pedal seems soft after new clutch install ... is this normal (more)

After replacing my clutch, etc. my pedal feels much lighter (requires less effort) .. also .. there is a little shudder at engagement in first gear ... it this just the clutch breaking in?

I replaced the clutch with OEM clutch, etc.

Default this was a dealer service (more)

this was a dealer service ... and I took it back and had the technician drive it ... he said that all new clutches feel like that ...

still seems odd to me ...

Default Never installed a new OEM clutch but FWIW it is normal on the aftermarket clutches for the pedal to

be a bit softer at first and for a little chatter until the surfaces 'mate'.
