Clutch problems

DIGItonium

Joe sent me a full face ceramic to replace the street disk that came with the OFE Stage 4 kit. I absolutely love this disk! Engagements are super smooth, easy to modulate, no judder, etc. I can make smooth fast shifts with no jolt. This car is an absolute joy to drive again.

The advice about bleeding the clutch line from the master made a big difference. The tech even had to unhinge the clutch pedal to further squeeze any air bubbles trapped in the master cylinder. It took about 2 hours to figure it all out (no pressure for awhile). Engagement is perfect, tip in is perfect (barely 0.5" of play, and it has a slightly springy resistance versus no pressure floppy feel). This is what you want! I drove all week and pressure remain the same regardless of temperature or how long I've driven it.

It has been over half a year, and I forgot how much fun this car is to drive. I finally made the 1-2 shift at high revs without grinding.

Overall, no more sticky gears, lurch, clunk, notchiness, etc. Drawback... 3rd gear synchros are starting to fail. Hope to get a new transmission soon.

Thanks, Joe. I'll box up the old disk tonight.
