So the first thign to do is make sure the hydraulic fluid is full and not contaminated.

How heavy does it feel.

And are you sure its not a high stage clutch?

Its like your depressing the brake pedal, what do you mean by a high stage clutch?

Higher stage is a clutch that has higher pressure springs to provide less slip and better acceleration and more control with a load.
