I wouldnt put it past them but that would be really be balls… if they have no reciept for sending it out then id flip shit cuz we know they cant turn flywheels there, or maybe they installed a new flywheel but youd have a recipt for that. But I’m sure they have a professionally certified dremel machinist. :rofl And yeah I wasn’t going to bring up the FWD pilot, but hey I’m giving the benefit of the doubt. ---

I was seriously trying to think of a meaningful answer, but if you just recently had this problem after your new clutch was put in it could be that the clutch disc isnt aligned properly causing excessive effort to turn because its rotating out of round, any vibrations at any rpms or when engaging? ---

It possibly could go on crooked theres still a good 1/8" of freeplay all around the the spline shaft, with my tranny atleast not sure on fwd cars ---

what? my imput shaft is snug. if there were 1/8" of play on the shaft the clutch would spin around the imput shaft. ---

Im gonna end this before I sound like an idiot but yes the clutch has no freeplay, but the pressure plate seriously is what i meant that could be off center to the clutch disc where it bolts to the disc… (it is very possible.) ---
