Just got the lude running right after 4 months. Just finished my 500 mile break in period on my new clutch/pressure plate/flywheel. Launched at 3.5k, then it felt like I missed 2nd, so I tried again and it "popped" into 2nd. Tried to go into 3rd and realized I was locked out of every gear. I coasted to a parking lot to collect my thoughts. I later had to drive an hour to a friends house all in 2nd (had to start the car in gear)so I could use his garage to figure it out.
I replaced my Clutch Master Cylinder (under warranty), Slave Cylinder (under warranty) and bled twice. Still no change. I checked the clutch release fork, didn't appear bent. So I bit the bullet and pulled the tranny again. Lesson learned.
Thankfully, everything was contained between the pressure plate and the flywheel, so no MAJOR damage. Notice the sheered dowl rods and trashed pilot bearing. And remember, all parts had about 600 miles on them. FML.
reps would cheer me up

. . . and let the testimonials begin. I'll start.
I bought my Exedy clutch kit and Fidanza flywheel off eBay. 11,000 miles later, everything is operating perfectly normal. I've also bought 2 set of rims off eBay. Again, no problems.

You just have to be careful what you buy off eBay. its not all junk. Most of it, maybe. But not all.
