Hi everyone. As many people recommended, I ordered the Spec I clutch kit from Bill at Super Coupe Performance. I also got the B&M shifter. I went today to get my car looking forward to the feel of a new clutch.
My mechanic and I went for a drive. As soon as I start letting off the clutch, the whole car started shaking and shimmiing and there was a nasty clatter noise coming from the clutch. It happens going into 1st and Reverse. Once going, all is fine. It is also extremely hard to shift between gears. I thought the shifter was suppose to make it funner to drive, not give me a arm workout, my wife could not really even shift the gears. This has got to be somehow related. My mechanic tried to blame the parts so I called Spec and they said it was probably not installed right. They also asked if the flywheel had been resurfaced, which it had not been. The slave cylinder was also not replaced if that matters.
Point is, when I stood outside the car and watched the mechanic drive it, it sounded aweful and I could see the car lurching and jumping as he took off in 1st gear. Bill Evanoff at SCP also said it was the mechanics fault, but this guy has done a lot of work on a lot of cars of mine and friends and family.. Any professional advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
