Well from the picture it looks like you left the retaining clip that holds that into the slave. You remove the clip and it pulls right out.

Strut mounts could be the creaking. Miles on the car?

Yea I know, the strut mounts will creak when turning sometimes, and clunk under hard braking and bumps.

It's coming. Broken in great now. Have renewed faith in the balts after taking out a turboed scion tc. He got me first, I was in 4th he surprised me. Then I got even again, exchanged pleasantries, got myself into 3rd at about 5000 rpm and took him up to maybe 110 mph. Now I just need a tune. And I have no more wheel hop!!

I got a fidanza lightweight and a spec 3 clutch in my 2.2 it grabs nice. The flywheel you notice a better pull in 2nd and 3rd gear. I'm unsure if it was worth the cash but if you want to get what you can out of it while your in there and your not boosting it. I'd recommend it.

Got just ovet 1000 miles on it now. Really grabs now And used to it after 500 miles of heavy traffic. Lots of 1-2-1-2-1-2 gears haha. I have to start it at slightly higher rpm, like 1800 is perfect then pour it on.
