ok update! finally got the transmission open and heres the pics:
Old Stage 1:
see how the springs popped out? yea thats the problem
i called up competition clutch and i talked with Adam (who by the way is THE MAN)
and this is what he sent me:
COMPETITION STAGE 2 CLUTCH
he didnt charge me for the stage 2, i only paid 220 for the stage 1 and i believe the stage 2 is twice as much
and he overnighted them to me all free of charge.
and no its not just the pictured item, he sent me the full clutch kit including a new alignment tool and a new throwout bearing :D
this will be reinstalled in the car tomorrow and i should have the car back Monday or Tuesday if all goes as planned.
expect more pics once i get my car back with the Stoptech BBK installed, Recaro Seats installed, RS1 Lip kit, Hotchkis Camber links and a nice clean tC :D
Competition Clutch FTW!
great customer service!!
