Still having clutch woes, Spring problem??? Options

[tracks914]

OK - I pulled my old clutch.
Measured the flywheel and 2 spares - 2 were like new the one in my car had been turned down (just the face not the shoulder).
Measured my clutch disk - it was like new - 10% wear.
Had 3 clutch spring plates - measured travel to center point of spring(using a drill press and tape measure) - 2 @ 3/8" 1 @ 1/2 " (but it had 1/8" more travel before spring plate started to move).
Everything looked OK so I put it all back together (using the like new flywheel not the original that appeared to have been turned down).
Clutch to flywheel probably had 1/4" to 3/8" of compression with clutch bolts upon assembly.

Now clutch works OK - as it did before - but the engagement point of the clutch is just this side of the center point of the spring plate. I can drive it but when pulling away from a stop I have to be careful because the clutch wants to engage just as I get it to the center point and the pressure increases very fast. Besides that, it's annoying as hell every time I engage the clutch it's nice and firm (to the 1/2 way point) then gets really easy to push down just as it disengages and my foot goes to the floor.

Any suggestions???
Thanks
