Default Re: Budget Turbo Build... From the ground up

SOB!!! im getting really tired of this tranny swap project.... i seem to be having bad luck with SBC...

were to start...

I sent SBC my flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disk w/ pieces, and slave cylinder. They didnt re-turn the flywheel or the pressure plate because they said it didnt need to be done. They (Jon) also said they checked the pressure plate and everything was good to go. All they did was replace the metal disc while re-using my friction materials.... and said everything should be good.

I finished putting it back together today... took it for a drive and the clutch felt really funny.... so I stopped...

now... before it failed the first time... the clutch pedal would have to be depressed nearly 3/4 the way to the floor for the clutch to release.... now... with everything being the same... exept the disc.... i put my foot on the clutch pedal and might push it 3/4" - 1" before the clutch is fully released....

what in the world could be causing this besides the pressure plate being fudged? my main fear is that I might get 3k miles on the clutch before I have 0 free pedal play on the clutch and it just stops grabbing....

is there something that could have happend that wont require pulling everything back apart to fix? I have a feeling its the pressure plate... and im NOT paying for it this time.... im so p.o'ed at the moment....

other then that... it drives decent.... shifts smooth... and clutch opperation other then the fact that it takes nearly no movement of the clutch pedal to get the clutch to release... is glass smooth...

anyways... i dont know what to do...
