Pedal shouldn't feel lighter lol than stock. Stock is already extremely light
Should have elaborated more the clutch is definitely stiffer than stock but it is definitely lighter than the previous install of the kit

Congrats! I'm happy for you, I know it was an ordeal but hopefully no more problems. I bet your Si is a blast to drive!

Thank you!!! So far it has been amazing! I'll be driving a total of about 1000 miles+ these next few days so I should know fairly quickly if anything is wrong

Looks like this headache is still not over. My 5th gear keeps popping out when I try to accelerate at about 60mph. Also you can hear a winding noise as I accelerate and disappears the moment I push the clutch in

Sorry to hear this happened, sounds like a faulty product. Might want to call Redline Performance in Arlington if you haven't already.

Dang you guys are up so late!!!

It's weird cause it is only 5th gear though and it occurred after driving 150 miles . From doing some searching it seems to be several things: Low tranny fluid since 5th is "starving", linkage bushing might have too much free play, or syncros (?)

The car goes into gear without a problem so I don't think the CMC is the issue this time

Went back to the shop. Looks like they forgot to tighten down the drain hole completely. The bottom pan had a ton of transmission fluid on it. They changed it out and the car feels great again!

I am back from my little road trip. I have now driven the car for 1000 miles. The car feels amazing and I am so happy to get my car back after almost a month without it! The car feels almost like OEM with a tiny amount of noise. As of right now I have not experienced any chatter. The clutch grabs well and feels only a tad bit stiffer than OEM. So far no problems and hopefully this whole ordeal is over with!

As long as your not making a ton of power lol like W1 and fbo tuned then you’ll be fine

My plan is the TSP Stage 1 tune and maybe the front/downpipe and CAI from W1. I want to do more but I need to focus on paying some debt off first. Appreciate your help through this whole process!

Today when I got into the car I noticed that the clutch pedal travel was shorter and that my RPMS seem to be dropping slower too. I am assuming after driving the car for 1000+ miles I need another pedal adjustment?

An adjustment after a bit of break in would not be unusual.
