As long as the air gap between the release bearing and the clutch fingers is correct the only other option would be the stop. loosen the stop and verify travel and set the stop so as it just touches the clutch pedal as the master strokes out then take it out for a drive. Not sure what you used for a stop mine is just a 3/8 bolt with a sway bar end link poly bushing over the head for some cushion nothing special at all.
