Evo shops in CT/MA

Need a shop that is good with installing clutches at a fairly lower price than the dealership. Not sure if its just the clutch or if the master cylinder or slave cylinder are crappy. My neighbor said it could be one of those including the clutch. Had a hard time putting it in 2nd and 4th when im gunning it. I have to wait a little with the clutch on the floor to be able to slam it in with alot of force. Don't think that natural at all... But also I noticed when im cruising along then I let off the gas I hear a rattling noise it seems to either be a heat shield, under my exhaust or in the engine. Car is completely stock no aftermarket parts.

Hey perkins. Got the alignment the next day. The wheel doesnt jiggle as much as it used to. Starting to mod it now. Just installed the Perrin intake in it, sounds pretty nice. Next is the exhaust.
