Question on Clutch Master and Slave Cylinder Replacement

I have a 2006 R53 & recently had clutch assembly, flywheel & master/slave cylinders replaced by my mechanic. The clutch now engages abruptly & very late about an inch before full release of the pedal. Could there be too much pressure in the master cylinder? Mechanic suggested I learn to shift without fully pressing the pedal, or add air to the master cylinder.

Something sounds wrong with the install or possible defective parts.

First, confirm the parts installed do fit your vehicle, use the part numbers to confirm. If the parts are correct, there may be air in the clutch hydraulic system.
