Default clutch issue

A couple days ago, I noticed my clutch was softer than usual, right after I had to down shift from 4th to 3rd on the freeway at around 4k rpms. I had a vast stage 3 clutch and lwfw installed about 1k miles ago. I have only got on it hard a couple times recently when i had more miles on it. What could cause this, the was no burnt clutch smell after that, it holds fine under full boost. Did I ruin my new clutch?

No slipping under hard accel? No problems shifting in/out of gears? If not then the clutch is likely fine.

You mean the pedal feel alone is differant? Could be a hydralic issue. I guess.

It holds fine but shifting between gears used to be more firm and now when shifting gears and letting the clutch out its soft there is very minor engagement feel.
