I asked Steve Addison at Monster Clutch about the problem with the clutch catching so close to the floor, and he said it was likely one of two possibilities. Either air in the clutch hydraulics, or there needed to be a spacer behind the slave cylinder/throwout bearing.

The throwout bearing that comes with the clutch has a long bleeder hose attached to it, so bleeding the hydraulics for the clutch shouldn't be a big deal.

But I am not that lucky. Surely the drivetrain is going to have to come out in order to put a spacer in place. I would like the clutch to engage close to the midway point in the clutch pedal travel.

There is a procedure for checking the air gap between the throwout bearing and the clutch pressure plate fingers. It doesn't seem to be very complicated.
