new clutch break in
Well I had a long story ready to be posted but my browser freaked out and shutoff, so I’ll make this short and simple
I bought a clutch off of eBay for 100$, put it in, drove on it for 2 weeks, I went to speed shift.... blah peddle dropped to the floor and couldn’t get it into gear, so yadda yadda yadda, I got the transmission apart and found out what happened, the clutch blew apart, well just the material, a piece got stuck in the press. plate and caused the shifting prob.
Moral of the story don’t by cheap crap, and get a warranty on your clutch lol
Here’s a picture of the old clutch.[SIZE=2]

With the ACT clutch I barely broke it in maybe 100 miles and I've been running it for almost 3 years with alot of launches at the track and it still clamps hard. It think its just from the cheap clutch parts. I would try something of better quality.
Yeah.
First prob. Ebay
Second prob knock off cheap part
You get what you pay for.
I recommend buying from Rx7store. Not only do you support this site but they are a reputable seller and the products are well known.
I'm currently using the Spec stage 2 clutch package.

what was the e-bay sellers name and what is the brand of clutch? I just installed a $100 one from gripforce, the clutch was a seko or something along those lines. I hope that doesn't happen with all of them.
