That doesn't sound right. Are you sure the clutch pedal is adjusted properly?

Yes. That play should not be present IF the clutch was properly installed & adjusted. Who did you take it to?

What "Standard Flywheel" were they referring to? The South Bend Kevlar clutch doesn't come with its own flywheel, and a brand-new oem flywheel should be perfectly flat. If you installed a flywheel that is not flat, then yes, that could also make a difference.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
