I have only 26 miles on this new clutch and am taking it very easy on it for the break-in but when i downshift very mildly it shudders when doing simple downshifting.It takes off good and shifting is fine ,just downshifting.Also ,i bled the system and even have the clutch extension rod from taboo and the clutch is almost as easy to push in as a stock one and this is a 2600. What would cause it to be this easy to push in? I have the engagement points on the clutch perfect as far as the vfaq's and everything.Why isnt it harder to push in? Rebleed the system? Could this be a factor? And also about the downshift shuddering...Any ideas? Thanks
 
after i installed my 2600 in felt light too. but now after having driven it for about 2000miles, im noticing how heavy it actually is. when you say shuttering, do you mean, it kind of bucks? or it shutters when you down shift and get back on the gas?
 
after shifting and just when you are letting back out the clutch it shudders until the clutch is all the way out.I dont remember the 2100 doing this during my breakin period.I cant believe this clutch is so easy to push in.There has to be something wrong.
