Default For those thinking of buying a SPEC clutch, please recondsider........

i am having many problems with my clutch and have gotten at least 5 emails from other people who have had very similar problems to mine as well. If they want to speak up thats fine, if not, just know that they are out there and SPEC has done nothing to completely fix the problem.

This could just be a bad batch or something, but readin these emails, SPEC hasn't been very cooperative at all to resolve the problems.

<end rant>

Default some chatter feel through clutch pedal and clutch will not dissengage completely

so while the car is running and its out of gear, you can't shift into any gear unless you're moving and revmatch. also, if you stopped with it in gear and the clutch in, the car will still move as if the clutch were out

The slave cylinder's fine and i bled the system multiple times :/

I read the e-mail that Todd got and Dave seemed like he would help. Maybe I read the e-mail wrong :/
