Define crappy. If you can't modulate the new clutch, try a Steeda clutch assist spring. If it's getting locked in gear, definitely needs to be pumped slowly, 100 times, maybe twice. I had both of these issues and I'm golden now.

Ok, by crappy I mean at times going into 3rd it feels a little rough like a clash only at times, and today after driving for a while when down shifting it did not seem like it wanted to come out of 3rd or 2nd gear until I gave a little more force than usual . Is this all normal break in stuff to deal with? I will do some more clutch pedal pumping tomorrow, what ever it takes to get it right. Thanks all for the help. I was not having any of these issues before, just the lock out stock clutch BS.

I did it twice 100 each time. Once with cap on once off. Had to add a little fluid after second time.

How is it doing now? I'm interested in upgrading to an RST or other possible options in my daily driver 2014 but I just want something problem free that will last as long as the stock clutch has so far (44,000 miles)
