competition clutch + flywheel question!

Hi guys,
Just need some input or advice regarding this clutch kit.
I have installed a 1.5 stage competition clutch + competition lightweight flywheel recently.

Clutch has been driven over 4000kms, so its definitely bedded in.

The issue im having atm is that my friction point is constantly shifting and my mechanic had to adjust the pedal travel several times.

And last weekend it decided to shit itself, felt a strong click through the clutch when i pressed it, and from then on it wouldnt get into gear or let me change gear at all.

This morning i took my car to the mechanics to have a look at it and he adjusted the pedal travel again. althuogh the gear shift feels a little rough i can change gears and drive fine.

He reckons the build quality of the clutch isnt the greatest.

What are your opinions? or what might be wrong with this clutch?

any help or input would be great!

btw its a 2003 cl9

Are you losing clutch fluid? Any leaks?

Which mechanic did u go to?

i checked the fluids and its up to the top. theres no signs of leaking.

His my local mechanic that ive been dealing with for quite some time.

a strong click sounds like a pressure plate failure or issue.

Competition clutch has been known the world over thru various models to have the occasional issue/failure

Hey Ben! Long time!
If its the problem with the pressure plate what do I need to do?
How can I find out if it's the problem with the pressure plate?

Remove the box and replace the clutch

4000km isn't a lot. Especially if not due to track work, you should be able to claim it under warranty. Although that would also depend where you got it from.

As benson said - you need to drop the box as a minimum. Chances are as I said , the pressure plate has failed which is replacement. I'd replace with an exedy item - contact JDMyard in regards to the replacement parts or go US eBay

took it to western clutches in st marys, and found out the clutch pedal box had snapped. scott at western clutch was very helpful, he managed to weld the box to its original condition with extra welds to make it a little stronger.

also flushed the master cylinder and put in new fluids. the pedal feels much better and it seems like the problem is solved!

thanks for the input guys!
