DSR,
The stage 3 has carbon/kevlar friction material, with a sprung center hub. Most likely it's built off a stock friction disc core. I wouldn't expect your decel buzz to go away untill you swap to an 02 and up disc.

As the disc wears the release point also moves up. Be careful "adjusting" the pushrod, you could be making a lot more work for yourself. you will have to readjust when the clutch is replaced. Also be aware that you can mis-adjust and cause very rapid wear of the clutch.

If it was mine, bleed the hydraulics, and start saving for a new clutch. I'd consider using a new OEM disc with your current pressure plate.

I'm sure the Mugen disc would be just fine, but I thought you where fixing it cheap? Moooooogen is never cheap.

I think I may have to hold off on my Mugen lip to fix this clutch.. I can't risk it going out.
