Default monster Clutch problems, need help ideas

I had the 3.5 installed around 6 months ago. The pedal engagement has raised slowly to the point that it is at the top of the pedal travel. The clutch is now slipping badly also. I have not beat this clutch at all,
and am wondering if it could be anything other then the clutch pressure plate? I have emailed Monster to find out what they can do
here as the cost wasa great deal. The car is driven as a daily driver.

Is your fluid level ok? I would think maybe hydraulics may be the cause and not so much the hard parts of the clutch.

the fluid level would come into the picture if disengagement was a problem i believe. The slippage really started to get bad within one day ago. Never really noticed any before. My thoughts are the pressure plate or the possiblity that the pressure plate has come loose. I ordered the aluminum flywheel also.
This clutch should have lasted a long time with no abuse and daily driving.

From my experiences, when a pressure plate goes bad, its usually one or more of the fingers thats the culprit. The pedal feel will be harder than normal also. Maybe the slave isnt disengaging the pressure plate fully and causing the slipping disc. Did you replace the slave?
