So recently I pulled a Spec clutch out of my car (from previous owner) because it was slipping bad. The car shifted normally, it just would slip super easy in higher gears.
Anyway, I bought one of the ebay Exedy OE style clutches for the car. I took out the flywheel and had it resurfaced (lightweight, not sure the brand) and installed both back in the car. Everything went smooth on the install.
One thing I noticed though is that the Exedy clutch/pressure plate was slightly shorter than the Spec clutch and plate when stacked side by side.
Right now I'm having the issue that if I try to shift quickly (pedal fully depressed even), It grinds going into gear, 2nd gear especially bad. It does this sometimes if I'm in first gear and I put my foot on the clutch and don't even shift or put it into neutral or anything.
I adjusted the clutch pedal because I thought that would help, but its backed all the way out and nothing has changed. I bled the system as well, but that didn't help at all.
Any ideas what is going on here? kind of frustrating
Thanks
