Good point man. All that's left is for me to get the good news that the warranty will in fact pay for the whole job. Should know today. I feel tense lol. My only concern is their trying to get out of it by saying I replaced the clutch with an aftermarket one when in fact, I didn't. I bought the car as is. Looking forward to it paying off though!

So posted in that areas local forum, asking if someone would pick it up and fedex. This forum is awesome! I paid with card, and this guy who was local to dealer drove over and got it, then fedexed it to me. I gave him a little extra to cover his costs, but I definitely owe the guy a case of beers if we ever meet.
Maybe you could do the same thing...

So this is what we found inside the bellhousing:
Weak Clutch!
OEM PP, still intact.
OEM Flywheel needs a reskim - a sand down just to remove impurities on the surface.

That fork clip seems to be fine? Looks sturdy to me.

Still, they are stiffer than stock, so a lot of guys disable the clutch pedal interlock, so car can be started without touching pedal..prevents dry starts on the thrust washer. Just that little extra preventative measure. Note, easiest way to disable the interlock is an acorn nut screwed on the end of the switch, to hold the button down.

Look at the galling on the guide shaft. May want to think about replacing that too.

What could cause the spline to get rusted? Is it true that greasing it enables smoother shifting?

I have a supercharger installed but should be getting a brand new OEM clutch kit installed. How well do you reckon it'll manage with the power? How good is the clamping force?
