Allright, finally got my ST165 back from the shop and looking for advice. I had an exedy sports clutch put in with 19% greater clamping force. Big difference was the fact that the throw was approx. 2-3", which I saw as good and bad. I have to completely bottom-out the clutch to get it to fully disengage, and its really choppy by nature. Is there any way to adjust this? The mechanic I worked with said he thought the best thing to do would be put in a new master and slave cylinder and that might help.
2nd-- I had brass clutch linkage bushings put in and they seemed to almost make it tougher to shift. That might also have to do with the clutch pedal also and the fact it has to be bottomed out to shift.
Third, he replaced the inboard boot on the tie rods, and the alignment seems funky (steering wheel off-kilter) and steering not as "tight." I left the car with him, but any guesses why this might be?
Any help appreciated. To be honest, after 2800 dollars on my car, it sucks to be disappointed at all.
I still love my car, though.
