just picked up my s2k from the shop on tuesday...got cc stage 4 clutch w/ lightweight flywheel installed...here are my issues...

1st gear, wont take off without jerking/spinning tires/clunking..
reverse, nope...clunks/grinds
engages at the tip top of the pedal, tap it, it engages, HATE IT

 

did you even break it in?

 

I have the same clutch. All you posted is normal. What did you expect it's a puck style clutch.

Also what reason did you choose this clutch are you FI making more than 400Whp?

 

im stock, the shop recommended this clutch, though there word was best..

 

you should be able to adjust the pedal to make the engagement a little lower.

if you have any grinding, etc then you havent gotten it all the way in gear... try not pushing the clutch all the way to the floor.

if you get shaking/jerking/spinning when you try to go then you arent doing it right. with a pucked clutch you will need to take off with the rev's higher than with a normal clutch, you will also need to take off faster.

with all the clunking you have going on i'd wonder if your motor mounts are busted, its easy to bust worn mounts when changing the clutch. My car was much easier to drive after i replaced the mounts.

the car shouldnt be hard to drive, it might take a little more concentration at first but it shouldnt be hard by any means

 

yeah, high rev's in reverse are a no go lol, and it jerks unless i get up to 3k for take off, and then im spinnin tires haha

 

pucks are great for drag racing but damn for a daily it kind of sucks, at least you're ready for forced induction.

 

if i boosted it, would it be better? clutch wise haha, gotta have a legit excuse for the wife for boosting the s2k haha

 

U got to learn how to take off. I have the same clutch and i have 10k on it already. I can take off like its a stock clutch. U just have to learn how to let off the clutch pedal and u wont have the car jerking. It should only take u a week to get used to it.

 

When u are reversing u dont wanna let off the clutch pedal totally. Just give it gas while ur playing the clutch pedal. And it will never clunk.
