Help Aftermarket Clutch Owners !!!

[04RedLine04]

I just had a new tranny, clutch and flywheel installed in my car(Stock Tranny,ClutchMasterStg3&Findaza Flywheel) I got the car back to day but its really hard to shift into gears can this be due to brake in process or is it just not normal. I have to press on the clutch really hard to be able to shift in and I tried once to floor it ,but when I needed to shift it was impossible to get to the next gear. All u aftermarket clutch owners tell me if this is happing to u and what I can do

what stage clutch is it man?

Drive it a while to see if it works out any air bubbles.

fx300 I believe

[sheek360]

i dont think a fx300 should be that aggresive, ive read in the balt forums that the pedal pressure is the same. did u tell the dealer, if so, what did they say?

I've heard of the "break-in period" but I would think it should go into gear, regardless of how hard you might be "on it"...
Saturn did the install? Was this the first clutch swap they've done on the RL? WOP posted some info in another thread about special tools/proper procedures...perhaps they missed one somewhere along the line? I'd try to confirm, as tactfully as possible.

please let me know of the tool and procedures to go on monday and talk to them

How's she feeling now?

I've got the CM Stage 3 in now, with the same/similar issues. My pedal is completely on the floor, as well!

well final result for me was to put stock one back on ,no bleeding was able to fix it my shop tried a couple of thing but it seem to not hel ,1 issue which we thought would fix it was to change the clutch lines since they are plastic they could expand due to pressure, so metal lines were put in but no diffrence .I returned it and kept Findaza flywheel ,Rides beautiful with stock clutch
