Light Clutch Pedal Feel After Replacement

This week the dealer replaced the clutch in my 2006 MCS GP under warranty due to noise. Now I have very little clutch pedal feel. The pedal goes to the floor with very little resistance. I like a clutch pedal with some resistance, like it was originally. I do not like the current feel but it seems to engage and disengage just fine.

Anyone else have this experience after a clutch replacement and what was the resolution?

The paperwork from the dealership says they installed:
- Twin Mass Flywheel
- Set Remanufactured clutch parts
- Guide Tube
- Dowel

Due to the distance I am from the dealer, I had Mini roadside assitance pickup the car and take it to the dealer so I did not get to drive the car until it was back home and two hours from the dealer. I called the Mini SA when I received the car yesterday afternoon but he has still not returned by call.

There is a break in period for the clutch. It is possible that one broken in there will be more "feel" to the pedal. Then again, I could be entirely incorrect in thinking this too...

Possibly a little air in the line?

i actually see this a lot. a very different pedal feel after a new clutch, no mater what brand or how much bleeding. it will get a bit better with time, but not much.
