listen i need possible explanations!not did you put it in gear! im not a dumbass.
noob. i heard there is a fork or something in the tranny that pushes the throwout bearing out can that bend? also if i put in a street strip clutch how much better in quality would i notice,say the centerforce clutch as well anyone have any good experience with it. im hoping its just the clutch and im hoping the problem will go away if i install a new better one.

is your hydraulic clutch system working properly? I know I had a bad slave cylinder for awhile and that didn't help at all. But yeah there is a fork that the slave pushes against to activate the clutch and yes it is possible to be bent out of shape. But does it only do it while you drive the car hard?

and the flywheel was never resurfaced.
