I just had the fidanza 3.2 clutch and their aluminum flywheel installed about a month ago. As I drive off I notice the car just shakes and acts like it doesn't want to engage properly, so I thought let me just get this broke in, so I continue with the break in period but I actually broke it in for about 650 miles or so and really haven't done anything too hard on the clutch. The problem still exists and I took it back to the shop and they checked all mounts and such and they are trying to tell me it must be the clucth, and im like " it did this right after the install". Does anybody think they might know what could be wrong? I am starting to wonder if the clucth just needs adjusted or something because it seems like it is not engaging properly and it has already slipped and I don't have any mods except the TBE, so their should be no problem with slipping.

Please help me people, ASAP! Thank you.

 

I actually had the same setup 3.2 clutch and their aluminum flywheel installed back in Feb on valentine's day.. it gave out on me about 3.5 weeks ago.. like 5k miles.. was rough engagement when first got it.. like you could feel every puck engage one at a time.. never really noticed a shake though.. when it gave out it actually started to slip a little on fourth on the way home.. next day was toast.. it wasn't moving.. adjusted pedal and nothing..

 

yea i tried to adjust the pedal and no difference, the car just shakes badly and just seems like its not grabbing like it really should. I also had the clutch line replaced and the clutch pill removed. any advice would be great! thanks

 

Rev a 'little' higher as your release the clutch slowly and see if it still does it. That bia#$ probably just wants to grab.

 

nope the higher i rev the worse it shakes and even the mechanic thought i had a mount or something broken and when i actually tried to take off with some sort of high RPM's at the engine the damn thing slipped and didn't hook for nothing and just shook and bounced all over, errrrrrrr! even the stock clutch would burn some rubber lol.

 

Yup, could just be chatter with the kevlar pucks.

 

Open her up, something is not right. quit trying or you will get more damage.

 

yea i dont have a place to open her up so it has to go to the shop in which case it cost money since the shop thinks its nothing that they did to it!

 

Looks like your stuck between a rock and a hard place bud.
Take your chance, go to them and ask them if they open it up and its installed wrong you get it free sorted out free of labor.

 

yep rock and a hard place unless somebody else has any other suggestions, i hope maybe its just a defect and will be able to get the clutch replaced but dont know if i would want to put that one in again... errrrr.
