The clutch disc was worn down into the rivets. Basically it was shot. My mechanic also mentioned out of the 6 bolts that hold the bellhousing to the engine, 2 were in there but barely which worries me... Once it all came apart we found out that my input shaft seal was shot as well. Had that replaced and new starter with new rps flywheel and spec stage 2+ clutch. Car drives EXCELLENT! Never has this thing shifted sooo smoothly. I can put it into ANY gear with 1 finger. However a new symptom has developed. The gears feel a lot closer. Like 1-2 is fine but going from 2-3 or 3-4 is really difficult. Not hard to push in gear but like hard to find it...It will go like 2-1 sometimes or 2-5. The gears feel terribly close together now and I am not sure if that has to do with the linkage or what. It never blocks me out or grinds or anything just goes in then i realize it is back in 1st or in 5th...REALLY frustrating but I am trying to look into the cause. Easiest way to put it is it seems like my gears all moved to the right some. Like before 3rd would be from nuetral straight up and 4th was from nuetral straight down. Now straight up is 1st and straight down is 2nd and everything else has been pushed to the right slightly... Any ideas would be great Also, no more clutch drag
