Hi, I'm from India. I have changed the clutch kit and gear oil in 2010 GP 1.4L Petrol last week. The both things are bought from FIAT shop and did replaced with local service center as the Fiat service center is far away from my home. After this, clutch pedal became very hard to push and release. The clutch bite point is very close to the floor and it makes me to push hardly and release it slowly as it is kicking back. I am sure this is not a case before changing it to new clutch kit. Comparatively, the clutch pedal in petrol cars are lighter than diesel cars but my clutch pedal is way harder than diesel one. This causing me lot of pain in leg. However, the gear shift is smoother than earlier.
What could be the problem? What should I do now?
I am hesitating to mess up with pedal adjustment with new clutch kit!.
Will bleeding the clutch help? If yes, do I have to bleed master and slave cylinders? How to bleed clutch in Grande Punto petrol version would be great.
Thanks.

Bring it back to the local service and have it checked, they probably messed it @ reassembly... If you don't trust them that much, find another mechanic to expertise the clutch. But before doing, so have the local service informed of the situation: they're probably honest and might propose themselves to fix the issue.

Thanks, Bernie. Will do check with that local service shop. Anything else I should check before?

Is it nothing to do with the fact you've just had a new clutch fitted so maybe newer/stiffer spring and bite is closer to the floor because the clutch isn't worn just my thoughts anyway.

newer/stiffer ... up to get pain in the leg? I doubt...

I have checked back with the service center. They told me, new clutch kit would be hard for first few KMs.
Now my clutch pedal getting light as I completed ~200 KM.
Thanks everyone for your comments.

I am a newbie(didn't told anywhere here) and driven ~3000K with new clutch kit. Still I have long free play and clutch bite point is close to floor (However, the Clutch pedal is smooth).
Can I try something which shown in the below videos in my 2010 GP 1.4 Petrol.

First one is adjustment in pedal and another one is adjustment in clutch cable.

Any other check points would be helpful to me.

Thanks guys.
