how much hp are you making?

also is it one of those problems that you did something and then your problem came about or was this always in issue for you but got worse.

and what car and motor you running with which turbo and at what psi. more info would help.

Slow down kid. Geeze, you act like it's getting worse as we speak.

You probably don't need that aggressive of a clutch. Just hit an Ebay dealer up for a middle of the road clutch and a lightened flywheel if yours is all expletived up.

Drink some water.

Maybe because it wore out?



Maybe it being worn out is part of why it wouldn't go into gear.

MAYBE your tranny being fucked up would involve your clutch/flywheel

Yeah dude, you throwout bearing was obviosly **** and wore out the splines.

I'm an idiot. Why does it matter?

WHen you change your clutch, go ahead and replace your pilot bearing, Throwout bearing, and flywheel. It's too easy not too while the tranny is off your car.

Be careful who you call an Idiot.

He is talking about the splines where the tranny input shafts mates to...those splines on the center of the clutch disc. I highly doubt that a bad throwout bearing would strip the splines on the clutch.

Now back to the question, your answer is "**** happens".

Sometimes even a respectable clutch manufacturer will have bad parts and just so happens it's you this time. This happened to a friend of mine and it was an ACT but it could happen to anyone.

If you did not have this clutch in your car for too long you might contact the company where you got it from and see if they will replace it for you.

Also check the input shaft for damages.

Good luck with the clutch replacement.
