Hi there, im currently havin the same kinda problem. except ive had a new carbon cevlar clutch fitted in my 6 speed dccd box. i can up the gears without sinking the clutch but cant come down the box if i try an put my foot down on the gas it wont let it come out of gear. it started wednesday on the way bk from work, came off the motorway an when i sank the clutch it felt as thow there was alot of friction as i pushed the pedal up an down. then from that poin i havent been able to get the gears on boost an very hard to get gears when drivin slow, ive took it to ralliart this morning an they say the clutch is shot very pist off as its done 1300 miles an thats including 1000 miles running in the engine, so its done about 300 miles with boost, i think its just a faulty unit but nether the less its gona cost me. if anybody else has some input i would love to hear it.

Default FB TUNING

Hi there Tom i got my car on 39000 miles the clutch was fitted by scoobyclinic at 37000 and the car is on 42000 now it had a scoobyclinic uprated clutch at the cost of nearly £700 and the flywheel was not done. Richard from fb tuning fitted my new exedy sport clutch pink box that i got from lateral performance at the great price of £350 richard also found out that scoobyclinic didnt take out some parts from the clutch master cylinder(restrictor) and my clutch pedal now feels so much better good luck Tom i hope your scoob gets sorted for you
