This morning the pedal felt a whole lot stiffer like the way it did before the install. Now Its notchy and shifting feels like crap i dont understand how the first two days since the install the pedal pressure felt light and smooth and shifted nicely. Now it just feels difderent in a bad way..
At this point, unfortunately, I’m inclined to that you may be headed to the point where total failure may be a real possibility, taking in consideration the length of the thread & noting potentiation/addition of mechanical anomalies.
This is not a Textbook group of “break in” circumstances, the quick of it..once tear down occurs, you’ll locate the issue. Though Jaded, I’d suggest you do it yourself. You’ll be glad you did, trust that.
This may suck right now, but you’ve learned a great deal, once you get through it, learn what’s occurring, you’re insight to reach out to another in a similar position will be priceless.
Still Strongly suggest seeking out a well known, highly regarded local Transmission Shop’s opinion. Won’t cost you anything. I’d be very happy to help locate the anomaly, since that’s not feasible, a Local opinion or 2 won’t hurt. Then decide what you want to do. Waiting it out seems counterproductive to me, if it’s worsening. I have a 1 Dimensional image, based on input. I see potential Flywheel uncertainty, Pilot Bearing damage, Slave issue, etc.
Exedy does make some good products, I believe, IMO, McLeod is superior, RAM’s Powergrip, Ford Racing, Centerforce, Some Spec Clutches, you’re future build target looks 350 HP (Net) Max, you really don’t need too much above stock.
As no Clutch Mfg. can control every possible aspect that may cause issues, it’s proven minor irregular install issues may clear over time, if a severe problem should occur, tear down likely will not reveal a Mfg. issue with their product, it’ll be an install issue, or other system component failure/inadequacy. It’s as controlled an environment as they can create.
Clutches should be near zero chatter post install, rest clearing typically within a few days. I trust you know that it may be something as innocent as running an *incompatible Synthetic Hydraulic Fluid, Pedal assembly wear issue, the most positively of trusted Component’s installed, go often overlooked when troubleshooting & often turn up later as the culprit.
May I confirm you’re running a TR3650 manual 10-spline transmission, when converting from an Automatic?
I’d recommend, if it were me replacing the Clutch, though $$, I’d suggest a McLeod Street Pro, (Same .Org.material Disc as OE) and their new Steel Flywheel, New Hydraulic Throwout Bearing (McLeod’s). Their Bolts, Fluid recommendation.
Good Luck! John
