New Z1 Clutch failing at 2k miles...?

Try bleeding the CSC and seeing if that improves it. Personally I've only used the JWT HD CSC once and it failed in my personal car while hooning around.

I've been running the JWT HD csc since 2017 and it's worked flawlessly with 3 different clutch upgrades. I replaced seals during the clutch changes just as a precaution

i will try bleeding the CSC. Do I do a full bleed or 1/4 bleed?
if that fails then I guess dropping the trans is next...

Check the cluth fluid reservoir. If the CSC us failing, you will notice a low fluid level and this is an indicator of a leak.

Did you replace the pilot bushing when you had the trans out? A failing pilot bushing can cause the input shaft on the trans to sag and cause difficulty shifting into gears.

Took my car out for the first time in 2-3 weeks
20 min drive, somewhat spirited
No problems were noticed until heat built up, then some gear shifts felt "sticky" when going from 2-3-4. Definitely hard to go from 1-2 when accelerating hard in 1st gear.

Got back home, hard to get into 1-6 gears while idle in my garage, and even harder and almost impossible to drop it into reverse. No idea what could be causing this but i will flush some fluid out tomorrow if time permits

Clutch fluid reservoir has been full for the past 2500 miles. Fluid level has not changed thankfully. Pilot pushing came with Z1 kit and was replaced.
