    Sounds like either pressure plate or throw out bearing- does it make any noise?

    LOL yep the same setup I had stage 2 clutch a pressure plate.
    I couldn't even install the PP, well I did but it never worked correctly. clutch was fine PP gave me the problem.
    mine was so bad you couln't even get it into gear.

    I would say the pressure plate.
    Did you have any other problems with the tranny before?

    nope. i was at the track and then it just decided it didnt want to go into gear... every once in a while it goes into gear fine. most of my problems are in 1st and 2nd. 3,4,5 are tolerable.

    Damn, man. Hope you get it worked out and it isn't too much. My damn brakes just decided to almost die on me. So, I got to get that shit fixed.

    Definitely sound like a clutch issue. I would check the cable first though, with an upgraded pressure plate it is possible to stretch the cable, causing a lack of complete disengagement.
    Who knows?
