Clutch install gone Bad

pokeyl

OK, the clutch will not release, I test my install by having someone (my Son) depress the clutch after we bleed it before we start the car. It will not release clean. I can put a pry bar at the aft U-joint and make it spin with high force (200-250 pound feet) to make it slip.

I will not slip at all without the clutch depress.

I did not change the pilot bearing, It looks good, but I can.

Last week, with the clutch assy on a press, it releases fine with 7.5mm of press movement, the CSC-CMC only give me 7mm. not enough for a clean release.

Could the duel mass flywheel be damaged?

I am about to spring for the Z1 CSC system.

CMC and CSC were just changed yesterday, CSC is the Z-speed part.

Thanks to all. Keep thinking, I need the help!

Good news is I can remove and install faster than changing a tire!!!
