Last year in December my clutch start to slip. So I’ve been to a Honda Shop and changed the clutch kit (clutch disk, pressure plate and bearing ). I’ve also told them to change the oil in the clutch pedal pomp, because it had a darkish color. After this operation the clutch did not slip anymore and clutch pedal was much softer. They told me the flywheel is OK and does not need to be replaced.

After driving it a while I’ve noticed that the disengagement course of the pedal is longer. The disengagement starts after I lifted a little my foot off the clutch pedal and it ends almost when I take the entire foot off the pedal. If I release my foot faster there is a feeling like the disengagement is done2 times. Has somebody or had this issue ?

And I have another issue that I had also before the clutch kit replacement. When changing from gear 1 to gear 2, after I release entirely my foot off the clutch pedal, I can hear and feel a click in the clutch pedal like something is engaging. This is reproducible only if I stop the engine and start it again. What could it be ?

I hope I’ve been clear enough.
Thanks.
 
This sounds like you have the common problem of clutch creak.Have a look at the diy of a cheap fix.

Thanks Brett for your reply, but it's not that click/creak, i had that click/creak too, this is different, and it is happening when i release my foot off the clutch pedal.
Could be the first option mentioned in the link provided by you. Maybe is normal, but for me it is starting to be annoying.
 
I presume that "Honda Shop" in Romania is what we call a "Honda dealer" in the UK, which is a franchised garage that can sell and service Hondas, and Honda try to make sure that they do not compromise the reputation of Honda. So one would expect such a garage to so things properly.
However, maybe they didn't do it properly, I can't think of anything apart from a total guess. If it is possible to fit a non-DMF pressure plate to a DMF flywheel, then maybe you would get the symptoms you describe. A 100% guess on whether it is possible and what the symptoms would be.
 
The Honda Dealer where i was is in Hungary, Debrecen. With the local Honda Dealer in Romania i had some bad experiences.
I've been yesterday at them with this two problems.

First one was solved by repairing the clutch pedal pump. There is a repair kit for it. Some kind a piston with a spring.
The second problem they do not know from what it is. It is not from the cruise control sensor (first presumptions). They said that they will ask the Budapest Dealer for this problem to see if somebody else had a problem like mine. If not i will have to let them my car to search for the problem.

@Brian,
The kit clutch is genuine Honda exactly for my model. It was ordered by VIN. I doubt they put something else there.
