Well, let me tell you what happened to me relating this topic. It was December 2007 and my stock clutch was slipping, so I started to search y found that the best combo was a Competition Clutch stage 4 + a2 flywheel. So I got the parts and do the clutch installation.
Everything was going smoothly until mid-june, when I started having problems. I was driving to my GF house and all the sudden I coudn't get into any gears, I started to pump the clutch until it finally went into gear. two days without problem, then it happened again... pumped the clutch and I went home. By members advice, I adjust the CMC pushrod, and it went like a week without problems. It finally came the day when I couldn't get into gear even with pumping the clutch. I order the EX CMC, to see if that could fix the problem to no avail.
I get went to take the transmission off and this is what I found out.

all those spring had stuck in the pp and that wouldn't let get into gears. Since I had no time since my car is my DD, I just put in a PP, disc and flywheel of a k24a1 that i have laying around.
Let me tell you, that the car feels great and shift very smoothly:mtongue:. I feel that I stay longer in gears, i think that is because the a1 flywheel is like 2-3 pounds heavier. Also, my turbo spools up very nicely, :mcool: its a greddy kit.
thanks for reading and sorry for the long post.
