The pedals mount to a shaft (both brake and clutch). The mating is a bushing and it wears. Your new clutch has a long arm and new mounting point and this accentuates the feel of sloppiness dur to the worn bushing. The solution is to rollerize these joints. Go here:

For an explanation and availability.

Spot on answer! It's kind of a pain to get the shaft completely out, but roller bushings work great. After my T5z conversion, I had my bushings rollerized and welded (one of the holes in the pedal support was worn oval, so the shaft had play even with the roller bushings) and noticed a huge difference in feel and confidence.

Well, that's one, anyway.
