I just had installed a slowboy racing 3500 clutch with a new fidanza flywheel. I have got the car back 4 times and the clutch engagement is still sometimes rough. They said that the problem was the adjustment under the dash, but it still didn't fix my problem all the way. It goes into every gear ok, but when i am in high RPM's sometime the clutch seems to have no pressure and the shifting is very rough. It also happens when i downshift (sometime the clutch doesn't seems as hard to push in and it doesn't want to go into gear. I just read a post about -
2G Clutch FCU Removal

What is an FCU? An FCU is the fluid collection unit / flow control unit, a buffer in the clutch fluid lines, that pools fluid to smooth out clutch pedal engagement.

Why should we remove it? In order to make sure the clutch fully engages in performance situations.

Do you think that this will fix my problem or do you think that i should leave it alone and try other solutions. PLease let me know, this problem is soo annoying and i can't seem to figure it out. any ideas?
 
Did that today, didn't fix my problem. The clutch peddal sometimes is not as stiff when i pressed it in. I have a SBR 3500 Clutch with a fidanza flywheel. Whats next. Slave and master??
