[QUOTE="justinsstang, post: 15933803, member: 164304"] Okay, so to update this thread... the issue was, my slave cylinder literally had came apart into two pieces lol! So now, after doing all the band-aids I have all these mods: MGW X Spec (21% reduction throw is what I opted for), Divorced clutch reservoir, stainless steel braided clutch line, DOT 4 fluid, the Amsoil "elixir" Trans Fluid (2 QTs amsoil MTF, .7 QT 75W90 trans Gear Lube), new OEM Slave cylinder, new Ford Performance Pilot Bearing, and last but definitely not least a Exedy Mach 500 (not the grooved one from AM, got the clutch for $300 from Beefcake). I also reused the stock flywheel, I just had it resurfaced. Also (pro-tip), the flywheel dowel pins Exedy sends for your flywheel do NOT fit in the 11-12 flywheel (not sure if it works on 13-14 or not). I actually did the install without any dowel pins at all, and just made sure the holes were lined up right, and I used the clutch alignment tool. 0 Chatter, 0 Vibration on this setup. And the clutch pedal did NOT increase in firmness. It feels a little more springy, which feels great (I do have the clutch pedal spring still in by the way). My cousin actually has the McLeod RST twin disc, and another friend local to him just installed the Mach 500. From his mouth: "The pedal feels perfect, it's better than my RST". Also, no chatter like the RST So everything is done now, and the clutch is broken in (500 mile break in period) and let me tell you... I did NOT know that a trans could even shift this well! It's got a slight notch that can be expected with a shorter throw which feels NICE during normal driving, and then after finally getting on it with around a 7400 RPM shift, the car goes in to gear like BUTTER. It's absolutely absurd! I couldn't even tell that I went in to the next gear. I done two pulls with a 2nd-3rd, and then a 2nd-3rd-4th shifts at 7400ish RPM. Every single one was just smooth beyond belief. It's my strong belief that the majority of the issue is the stock pressure plate & clutch combo now.
