Default New clutch acting weird: engagement point randomly changes on clutch pedal...

I just had Exeter Subaru install a ClutchNet six puck sprung copper rally clutch in the PGT car (MY96 Impreza L with cable clutch) along with a new stock flywheel, throwout bearing and pressure plate. After daily driving it for about a month the clutch started acting strangely.

When engaging the clutch pedal at low speeds (getting rolling from a stop or bumper to bumper traffic) sometimes the clutch engages when the pedal is an inch off the floor, sometimes two inches off the floor and sometimes two and a half inches off the floor. If I come to a stop on an incline and the car rolls backwards with the clutch disengaged in first gear, engaging the clutch "catches" a little bit when the pedal is an inch off the floor, the car lurches, but the clutch doesn't fully engage until the pedal is two and a half inches off the floor.

Does this sound like the throwout bearing binding up on the pressure plate and I'll have to take the vehicle in for service or might there something I can do at the clutch fork to take care of the problem? I've swapped suspension and most everything else but I don't have the facilities to drop the transmission myself to inspect the clutch and pressure plate internally (yet ).
