well I talked to much good about it i guess, but I dont think its the pressure plate...
I went to go hit 4th gear and it went into gear but the motor just reved.... and any gear with the clutch out nothing happens.
what I did do at the track was jack it up, and I had a buddy crank over the motor slowly and I could see the pressure plate moving, but i never did see any clutch disk pads.... and with the car running and you shift through the gears, it feels like your shifting with the car not running. so I think something may have happend with the disk. I am pulling the tranny tomorrow to find out.
damnit.

Holy **** dude lol that set-up must be pretty proven foreal!!!! What disk are you running, master cylinder, slave, and what is a mighty vac? I'm doing a motor swap in about a week or so and next week i need to redo my set-up cuz my spec3+ got murdered my car is making power the same as yours just shy a few of 600! I couldn't believe it. I would rather shift my ***** off than buy an auto when i drive it every day lol. So throw me the set-up cuz i want to try in out!

the only thing i can come up with that makes the centerforce's "pressure plate fingers" come back to enganged is the counter weights on the fingers???
idk, but it works. and I have tried 3 monster clutches, My textralia almost came apart on me the first pass I made with this motor, being it had almost completely ripped off two mounting locations on the PP.
I dont know how long it will last, but I am taking it out tonight and I might spray it and see what happens....
