I had a clutchmaster 6 puck clutch and a fidanza flywheel. I shimmed the pivot ball out and made sure the fork was sticking out in accordance to the RRE tech page. I also installed a new clutch master and slave and added a SS line straight to the slave, eliminating the restrictor/accumulator. It didn't hold for crap so after 2200 miles I changed it. The flywheel was fine, i sanded it down to get a smooth finish and I installed an ACT 2600. Now it won't disengage. There is no air left in the lines but it won't fully disengage. The fork/TOB contacts the pressure plate with very little free play if any, so do I need an extended rod?
 
Did you adjust the master cylinder all the way out? You'll probably need the new anyway but make sure the master cylinder is adjusted properly.
 
you need to learn the difference between professional machine tools and sanding it yourself.

i think buying a new flywheel will help you with that.
 
It was a brand new flywheel with 2200 miles on it. I only sanded it lightly to get a good contact surface. The only thing I didn't measure was the step, but the Fidanza lightweight worked fine with the clutchmasters, so I figured the ACT would be the same. The slave and master were brand new and installed with the clutchmaster 2200 miles ago. I will try to adjust the rod at the clutch pedal, if that doesn't fix it, any other ideas?
