Hey there,
Long story short, my clutch plate snapped and I got a lightly used Competition 2100 clutch+disk to put in. Upon disassembling everything, we saw that my flywheel was very rusty and had a bad surface. I wanted to have everything done right as I'm tired of clutch issues so I had the shop send the flywheel to get resurfaced and I specifically told them to aim for the 0.612" or 15.5448mm step height.
After 3 hours they called back and said they got it to about 15mm, which would mean about 0.590 inches. I asked why they had it cut so low but they said I was being too precise and they didn't see the point... Anyway I put a different clutch fork just in case, we shimmed the pivot ball with a 1G head stud washer (I believe 3mm thick) and put everything back together. Bled the system twice, adjusted clutch pedal for maximum travel, but now after break in (did a 1800 mile non-stop journey) the clutch engages almost right off the floor and when I'm feathering it the whole car shudders and feels as if my drivetrain is about to explode. I have not tried launching it yet, but I'm pretty sure something is wrong.
I should also add that we discovered many missing bolts and dowels for the engine-tranny and the mounting bolts for the T-case, so we made sure to put them in. Could this have affected how the power is transmitted and how it feels now? The engine mounts are currently stock rubber, but will be putting polys soon.
Thanks for reading, I'm sorry that it turned out this long but I wanted to get as many details in as possible!
