was the throwout riding the pressure plate, or was there some play?
while installing this new clutch, i found that mine was setup too tight: ie - lead to premature clutch failure. thankfully - that $350 bellhousing came with an adjustable pivot

I have adjustable firewall adjusters on both of my cars, so I have it set perfectly. There was no extra wear on the TOB when I took it out and no squeeking at idel.

David did you install your Liberty Input shaft yourself, if so did it come w/ instructions to shim it properly? If not where did you get it installed?

i have had good results from all of my spec clutches (when properly installed)
my spec 5 has lasted through 2 engines, a ring, pinion, driveshaft and 4 transmissions (including pictured)
