Warning Fidanza Alum Flywheel

I bought the Fidanza 3.2 Clutch kit for my 03 Evo from Buschar. The aluminum flywheel is not mating properly with the starter gear. Nick is working the issue with Fidanza. Please remove that article praising this clutch until they resolve this issue. The link below goes to another thread with other people that have had the same problem.

Update 2/20
It turns out the ring gear on the flywheel was either the wrong part or machined improperly. The beveled edge to help starter engagement was on the right side instead of the left side looking at the side the starter engages. So, to sum this up first, the kit I received had the wrong pressure plate and an improperly machined ring gear on the flywheel. wtf
