well to tell u the truth i dont know the clucth itself works awsome it engages and disengages properly i am thinking it could have been the clutch cable or somethink well tell me what the softest clutch out there thanks

Well it could be the clutch, or the cable, or the shaft the throw out bearing is riding on, and causing it to bind.

Start with the easy fix, and try to replace that cable.

then what would be next

Well this is only from ripping apart my car this winter, and actually seeing how the clutch assembly works. it is pretty basic.

if a new cable does not work, you might want to try spraying lube on the shaft. i don't know how good of an idea that is, because if you get any on the clutch it self, you might get a slipy clutch and wreck it.

So after all that said, drop the tanny and get a stock clutch.
I only say stock, because i would imagine it would be the softest.

The clutch i just installed is a SPEC stage 2+ and it seems pretty light, but graby.
