I have installed stage 1 excedy clutch last week and i felt it is harder for me to go into first gear while neutral. Also, harder for me to shift into 3rd (grind it couple of times) Moreover, I have had 40,000 mile on it and it is a '06 model. Are there anyone who has the same experience? What is the problem? What approach I should take afterward? Thank very much!!

 

Are you sure the clutch is disengaging fully?

 

hmmm...this is a worrier...

 

almost sounds liek the throwout bearing was installed imprperly and is not fully depressing the pressure plate and disengaging the clutch.
