New clutch installed and bad wheel hop?

So re-adjust the clutch linkage so that the clutch grabs farther down? Is the thinking if there is more travel to engage and release the clutch then it’s easier to let it out without having it grab too harshly? My only concern is that in my previous cars if things were set up correct there never was the severe wheel hop I have in my Dart. I should be able to simply side step the clutch and if I’m on the gas the car should just go. Meaning there would be noticeable wheel spin but car would still launch and move forward.
Thank you for all those that explained what is actually happening with the functioning of the rear leaf springs the correct pinion angle and what to look for to correct things. I’ll keep you all updated on how I solve the problem.


Why are you “side stepping” the clutch? It’s the slowest way to let the clutch out and it’s death to the pedal stop.
