Change the tranny fluid, then go from there.

This,

Put in some Redline MT85 and see if that helps.

Also, what weight flywheel did you get?

Color is only slightly and indicator because some clutch fluid brands can be darker than others. The kind I've used are usually closer to clear than anything.

Actually I haven't as it was a new transmission installed by Z1.

I replaced the csc a long time ago when I put in the new clutch but also with the new transmission I am running the z1 csc elimination kit.

I'll check it out this weekend, I went with the light weight flywheel that JWT included with their clutch.

this may be the wrong place to ask, but how light is too light? Im going to upgrade the csc and figured might as well do the rest of the clutch while im there but i dont want to ruin the drivability (i DD my Z).

Ah, it may be time to adjust the CSC since you have the Z1 external CSC.
