Its atleast comforting to know that this IS an issue with the car.

SO...the answer is, yes aftermarket clutches/flywheels help???

A good clutch and upgraded slave cylinder helps tremendously. I can't drive the stock set-up well either. The OE pressure plate blows.

If you upgrade the clutch and not the slave the stock plastic clutch slave will die soon after as it is a very weak unit.

Just this past week I have not been pressing the clutch all the way to the floor. I have been pushing it down a little more than half way and then putting it into the next gear. The shifts are much smoother, and I do not get any bucking. I just worry that I'm going to ruin the clutch/transmission by doing this. I do not get any griding or abnormal sounds, so I assume its okay.

Any input on this would be great.

Thanks,

Tom

im the same way Tom, ive been driving stick for years and still cant shift 100% smoothly with mine G. Also, i found that at higher rev (3K-4K regular driving), it is much smoother...well i think it's telling us to drive it like it suppose to be driven....
