question for those with Exedy clutch

I had to replace flywheel (went with fidanza flywheel) on my '00 5-speed max, while at it decided to replace the clutch with Exedy stage 1 organic clutch, but now the clutch pedal doesnt come out once pressed, the mechanic says i need "adjustable" slave clutch cylinder since the clutch is aftermarket, i searched on teh internets but could not find much, is this true and i need an adjustable slave cylinder clutch and where i can get one?
thanks in advance!

my clutch felt wierd too but it's just the characteristics of a racing clutch it's not going to have the same play as stock. after the install my clutch pedal would not come back up but i just had to work it a few times and now it's fine. you don't need to change the slave cylinder. have your mechanic keep resetting the pedal externally while you keep pressing the pedal it just needs a little bit of motivation. btw you're going to get clutch chatter too but don't worry thats normal with racing clutches.
