Your issue sounds more like a disk is not sliding smoothly on the input shaft upon release or there is possibly some material transfer from one of disk, Could also be a trans issue causing that. The overstroke could happen with the OS giken if you do not have a pedal stop and the fingers may hit the top disk. Most twins triples will require a pedal stop to prevent this.
They way to set up a twin is to find the point at which the clutch is fully released on the down stroke, at this point make a pedal stop that will limit any further travel so you do not over stroke it.
