What was the cause of your premature clutch failure?

Bad driving

n00b + 1st manual + boost = clutch failure

^ absolutely not, my barely glazed disc will prove that. Mike aka elevationtc wasnt sure what could have caused it... either a fault clutch or something. at first we thought the clutch pedal was brought out to far and it rode the throwout but there was something else that happened that shouldnt of been caused by that, also the thing that sticks out of the outter casing that the throw out goes on actually cracked a large piece off... :X mike will post pictures later i am sure, things left to do to get it done: Wastegate spring change, Blow thru piping, meth installation, straighten intercooler, fix fender liner's up, spring bolts on DP to spipe i need to get and put in, rear poly exhaust hangers, tune @ 22 lbs. oh and findout where my stainless clutchline went cuz it wasnt put in lol.. all in all mike worked his ____ing ___ off with some of my help but he mostly wanted to do everything himself... good guy wish i coulda gave him more for the job... o well, sending my CC stage 4 back with the flywheel which should all get replaced and ill be selling them.

why you tuning at 22lbs! copy catter lol! everything you you can do yourself!! so get to it!! dont wake up late afternoon and wake your ___ up in the morning and do some work on your own car lol. anyways i was pretty sure julio wasnt at fault for the clutch!!! it could have been you disengaging the clutch to quick or something.

The common isssue on our tranny is the sleeves getting chipped.. but this will not cause hard engagment this would cause griding...

If its hard enagagement this would leave me to beilve that the clutch pedal is not fully depressing the clutch causing it to give you a hard shift..
try adjusting the clutch pedal a little bit!

If you end up needing any help with the tranny let me know.. i have all the part sheets for the tranny and could easly aid you in finding the right parts you need for rebuild if nessary!
