Sry to bother, but I'm Having exactly same issue as OP for 2 months now. I have no where to turn to, so I made my first post.

Hi Everyone! Long time reader first time poster.

I have about 1.5k miles on the clutch. ACT XT STREET CLUTCH KIT (NORMAL FW)at the time of replacing the clutch I also installed VERUS FORGED 4130 CLUTCH FORK . and replaced throw-out bearing. Driving for an hour and the system gets warm enough I'm having trouble to get into gears from dead stop. All the gears. Really annoying when parallel parking. The reverse gear feel like none existent as if something is completely blocking it and cannot even force it. I play around from 3rd to 2nd to first then to reverse if it lets me. after a minute or so I get into the gear.

I tried adjusting the clutch pedal but the problem still persists. my mechanic tells me the clutch itself is the problem. Really don't know which clutch to go with now. Was hoping to get a decent upgrade but now got a headache. Do other clutches cause similar issues ? Can anyone recommend anything?
