I had my flywheel resurfaced. It's a step type flywheel so both the lower part and the part the pressure plate attches to had to be machined equally. I would have definintly gone Exedy if it was out when I needed a clutch though.

 

I just tried to contact CM again and they said they have only redesigned the clutch 2 times not 3, and that they have never paid labor for anybody having problems with their clutch's. All they said that they can do is give me a return number but i have to pay for the shiping and labor!

 

Yep, that's right. The original was Rev 1, then there was another stellar failure in the form of rev 2 and then apparently they got it right with rev 3. Maybe....

 

There was the orginal design (rubbed bellhousing), the second design (wouldn't disengage), and the final design (worked awesome) like I stated before. So I can see where they said two revisions. I definitly got a $648 bucks for the labor of one clutch installation. I still have the deposit from the check they sent me on my bank statement for September. They also paid for every clutch that was sent to me and back, and they were overnighted at that! If their customer service has got this bad all of the sudden they deserve to loose sales over this fiasco. I was standing by them, as they fixed all my issues but there is simply no excuse for poor customer service and lying. I feel bad for you getting the short end of the stick here man.

 

This is BS! I hope the BBB can do some thing about this!

 

I just got off the phone with CM and told them 2K5SS/SC's name and that they paid his labor so why can't they pay for mine and they said that they only did it for him and only for him that he just got lucky. I told them that it was unfair costomer service and he said it wasn't just because he helped out one and not the other! Im deffinetly getting the BBB involved!

 

Well, my name is now tarnished to them, but I don't care! I was hoping it would help you out, but apparently it didn't. Sorry to hear that bro. Good luck with the BBB, as i hope something in the end works out for you.

 

if it helps anyone it appears that my spec stage 2 is still holding great did the test no movement forward. 15k+ miles and no issues. I would probably by the same clutch again b/c it is holding with my driving and 250hp.

 

I called CM about a month ago and they told me to take out my clutch send it to them and they would check and see if it was an install problem or something with their clutch. They wouldn't send me another one when i suggested it and they argued with my tranny shop when they called them about it. It's a load of crap and if i had the money i'de go Exedy at the blink of an eye. Instead i'm taking it to the shop to see if maybe they can come up with something like shimming the flywheel or pressure plate.

 

Had Clutch & flywheeel put in today only thing I noticed so far is the pedal has to hit the back firewal to disengagel and releases with in a 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch would prefer pedal release and engage little higher up do creep test tomorrow

 

Yeah, i have to go all the way to the floor just to shift in and out of gear.

 

I like the low pedal release for some reason. It suits my driving style and seat position. I will admit that after I've been driving my S-10 for awhile and go to hop in the SS, I'll almost for sure stall it within the first minute or two! After that it comes back naturally though.

 

ugh i hate mine now. i have to push it to the damn floor to shift and im almost certain its not disengaging all the way. bc any higher than the floor it doesnt shift. and its a rough shift at that. if i could get the disengagement point higher than i would be fine. im bout to call CM and see what they have to say (doesnt seem like much)

o and about 5000 miles on my clutch

 

Try This if you did not bleed this way you will have air in the system. Brought my pedal up closer to stock and I only bleed once this way. Lot of air was Still in the system took 10 minutes to correct it for me

 

Where did you get this system at?

 

You can get those at about any parts store around.

 

What exactly is it called so i can ask for it.

 

Before you did this were you having problems shifting at high rpm's?

 

Usually a hand pump vaccum brake bleeder.

 

Ok cool thanks, im going to go and get one right now.lol

 

Yep my shifting was tight and worse at high rev and creeped forward when I reved in 1st that stopped also hope it helps you also pretty sure it will

 

hey do you think you can pm me your number so you can walk me through it. i have never used a system like this before. I don't wan't to mess up. Thanks

 

sure

 

ive done that bleed procedure many times with no success

 

i even had a hyundai tech bleed it for me, and it was the same as if i bled it
