What causes this?

I am 100% sure it was not that way when I installed it. Is it possible that i was over extending this clutch? As i said before i always had to put the pedal to the floor to get it to disengage. At one point in time for the heck of it I adjusted the throwout bearing to 0 play. I drove it around that block and I still had to push the pedal to the floor.

I am going to a diaphragm style clutch just because. I just looked for a clutch that fitted my needs (Centerforce Dual Friction) and that's how it was built.
