Clutch Question

Ok,,I have a 92 f-350,,7.3,4x4,5sp, my question is this,,roughly 10-20,000 miles ago I replaced my daul mass clutch with a luk conversion kit from carolina clutches.It is now a single mass.Well for the first 10,000 miles everything worked fine and was wonderful but now I am starting to get a jump in the truck so bad it's annoying on take off and backing up,,anyone have any ideas what might be causing this,,or do I need to just throttle it up more?

What do mean in "jump"
-does the clutch suddenly grab
-any chattering
-do you ride your clutch on inclines
-does the pedal engage the clutch same position as before this started
-is shifting into gear any more difficult
-any strange noises

No chattering,pedal is the same,,shifting into gear is eaiser,,no strange noises,,just shakes and jumps so bad sometimes I have to come back in on the pedal and start over,,,only does it like at a stop sign on a little incline or when im in the fields where pressure is being applied,,,before I never really had to give it any fuel,,just let out slowly on the clutch and then give it gas,,,now im having to give it gas then let out on it at times!
when I lock it in 4x4 it doesnt do it at all?

Thats what I would call chattering. Does it it get better when you drive it for a while, or is it like this all the time?
chattering can be caused by
-oil on the fly wheel and or clutch & pressure plate
-missaligned clutch
-problems with the pressure plate...broken or weak spring[s]
-unbalenced pressure aplied to the clutch
-imperfections on the fly wheel....requieres turning
-throwout bearing
You said the clutch and pressure plate are new....as I see it you won't know till you pull apart and look at it. Maybe some one will come on with a better insight, lol.

my first guess would be oil contamination on the disc. Open your inspection cover to check for any oil residue in the bell housing or any debri.
