Default FFFFFFFF W*&^^* Clutch Problems :( :( :( !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/103335/pic13.jpg"></center><p>
Well if you dont remember my old posts from before I got a VAST ceramanic clutch with resurfaced flywheel.
I could barely shift..
I got a VAST kevlar and lwfw and new pp
I just got it back from the mechanics..
and same ****.. Mike didnt give me a new TOB saying that the one from the cermanic clutch kit would be fine even after I said it looked rusty..I think its the TOB.. I mean what else could it be ?
not alignment issue not bleeding slave issue..

$1300 dollars later i have nothing to show for it and have to get my tranny pulled again.. i think at least...

sigh this really sucks
there goes my asp exhaust and vogtland coilover money that i dont have..
/rant

help ?

Default Big maybe.

There's a convoy headed down I-75 from near Gainesville Sunday morning, <i><b>but</b></i> the Gators have a big game Sat. night. If I'm not in Jax, I may still be in bad shape Sun. morning.
