Grinding when engaging clutch
Sounds like just after a year and a half of installed an entirely new clutch system (cc disk, pp, and f1 flywheel with OEM T/O bearing) I am getting the grinds when engaging the clutch from a dead stop. I thought master cylinder but after reading some threads I think I may need to drop the tranny..
On that note who has any recommendations on the NW side? Or does anybody do it themselves out of there own garage? I tried contacting matt but he's far out and can't get into contact. I'd like to tempt it myself but ill be moving this month

I thought the same at first with optimism. I adjusted the clutch with absolutely no slack and still had the issue. I completely bled the system not too long ago. It will go into gear just fine when it starts going. But from a start it makes a terrible grinding sound. It almost sounds like when you grind the gears from shifting incorrectly. I tried launching in 2nd gear and it does the exact same thing so I can pretty much safely say the synchros are ok.
So far my guesses are
-Failed clutch spring
-Broken clutch disc
-Pilot bearing
-t/o bearing
-PP
On a good note there is no slipping at all..

i'm getting ready to open up my old transmission to see exactly what went out, as of now the spring on the clutch popped out and was grinded down a bit probably rubbing against the pressure plate. that could be the problem to my transmission problems but that popped off spring could have resulted into damaged syncros and maybe more. i will find out later this week.

The spring popping out IMO doesnt mean it will damage the synchros unless you been driving it like that for a while. Car has been in the shop for like two days now and they still havent taken the tranny off >_< They want me to just order the suspected parts so it doesnt sit longer than it needs to. Went on the safe side and got the pilot bearing/clutch plate, thought about the TO bearing but thats like 100$! Its a fairly new bearing so it should good. Still no word on exactly what it is

damn I feel for you bro..... I have an oem ap2 clutch complete (disc, pressure plate, throw out bearing) and CMC. it was pulled from my buddies car with only 30k miles. we suspected a slipping clutch only to find out it was the delay valve in the CMC... :/
I also have a CC 6 puck sprung disc only though. it is used
