KA S13 Exedy Stage 1 Clutch Problems!

[DoobieS13]

Ok...i never put up stupid threads asking people shit. I did try to search, but i'm not really sure what the fuck to search...so here it is.

Ok, I recently like back in april swapped out my old kade since it had a major spun bearing (melted to the crank, how i bought it) and swapped in a lower mileage, good known running KADE...the car was also auto, so swapped it for a 5spd...put it in laddida...ok.

So i put in the whole Exedy Stage 1 Clutch Kit, and not even 1k miles later, i start hearing a jittering/clangy noise from like the motor/bellhousing area. Drove it today, asked my gf to listen to the noise, almost like a clicking/tapping noise when i push my clutch in...then tonight, i go out to move my car to a closer parking space in our development and start it up, go to push the clutch in, and a loud assss noise coming from the same place! like a grinding/rattle noise and it won't go into gear unless i absolutely SLAMMED it in there. backed it up, out of the old parking spot and realized even when i let off the clutch pedal, the car was still in gear and engaged...pull it up to the new parking spot after mannyyy stares and lights turned on (old farts) and get my gf to push the clutch in while i looked under the car...i found, that (i knew this and was in the process of buying ALL the bolts that bolt the bellhousing to the motor) but since there are no bolts on the bottom of the bellhousing/motor area, when she pushed the clutch in, the motor and bellhousing actually seperated from itself on the bottom...thinking maybe as i drove along maybe this was happening and didnt notice or a rock or some shit got up in the clutch/pressure plate/flywheel area? idk i'm desperate this is my DD! i'm saving up for 1or2jz swap...but, does anyone have any past with this? lol fuck my fucking life i hate this pisswhore slut.

Thanks...
