Exedy clutch/flywheel install problem, help!

hey guys i am having problems with my new EXEDY Cerametallic Clutch and lightened flywheel. first of all i wanted to do this myself but i dont have the lift,so i took it to a redneck transmission shop. they have had my car since thursday and today they finally put it together.

PROBLEM: the clutch petal wont engage.

they claim the flywheel is so thin that the clutch can reach it.

i went there to so they could explain to me what is goign on but they left before i got there.

1. what could have these guys screwed up on?

2. does exedy clutch/flywheel have different sizes? Exedy is subaru's stock clutch.

i wish i knew what else what wrong but they wouldnt tell me....

3. are there issues with other people when installing a new clutch/flywheel?

oh yea i forgot i have a blitz front mount intercooler. he tried to tell me that he had to take out that piping to get my transmission.

is this true or was this an excuse to delay time with me?

the transmission place f-ed you over. Sorry to say. I had this problem and I contacted Dakin/Exedy. The first thing they asked was this a certified Exedy installer (never knew of such a thing). If you check their website out, a slight bit of error will offset what looked simple.

A sure sign was the delay of installation. it should of been a day, max.

what kind of lightened flywheel? is it compatible with exedy clutch?
maybe the problem is there.

or they might have put the disc in inside out

i called Nino and talk to him since i bought this exedy clutch and exedy flywheel from him and he talked to the Local tranny guy. i hope nino told him what to do...

The local tranny guy "BOB" said that the clutch release bearing that came with the clutch is bad....????....... gee i wonder if the real reason is that he doesnt know what's going on!!

ok fixed the problem...... the ring around the clutch release bearing did not fit right... we had to use the old one that came off the stock bearing..... its a ring that snaps into groves of the spinning bearing.... i had a bad part from exedy!
