I got my SPEC stage III clutch thursday the 14th and got it put in that day. The place who put it in calls me up and says that the release bearing that SPEC supplied doesnt fit. I decide to let them put one of their release bearings in instead of having to send it back and pay double for the install. I have broken the clutch in for 330 kms and first gear is still really crappy and notchy. Every time I release the clutch slowly in first gear the car shakes like crazy. If I give it a little gas and release it a little quicker it doesnt seem to do it. It also shakes a little when I slowly gear down into second. Now, my questions:
1) should the clutch be ok without the SPEC release bearing?
2) is the shaking normal until its totally broken in?
3) I heard that since it is a performance clutch that its supposed to be 'popped' a little quicker than normal. True?
Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
