Clutches don't "get loose". Sounds like something is either stuck, or broken off.

What do you mean does not disengage fully? You step on the clutch pedal and you can't get into gear?

That's going to be the dealer shop foreman's problem and not yours, isn't it?

So don't worry about it.

Took a trip down to Angel Crest yesterday with another FRS buddy and our friend with an STI. First time in the canyons with the 86 and all i can say is WOW. I wanted to see how it felt stock before putting coils and better rubber etc. and damn this car can really be pushed stock and it will love every bit of it. Feels amazing in the corners even with stock suspension. The STI had trouble keeping up with us. Grips when you want it to, slides out a bit when you want that as well. Overall had a great time with friends.

It's actually more fun with the stock wheel/tires/coilovers in the canyons.

Glad you had fun man. If you want to go up again early morning on this Saturday, let me know. I'm organizing one.

I've only been through ACH 2 times. Love that road. Just the perfect flow of turns. GMR OTOH is manic, mostly blind corners, and motion sickness inducing.

I've driven through ACH on Saturday to go to the track. That Palmdale side of ACH has been all repaved completely. The road is incredibly smooth, it almost feels like a track course now.

The last time I drove through there, I had to repeatedly catch myself and slow down, because it's WAY too easy to go too fast now...

If there's a factory defect, I'd like to know about it.

You can REALLY see the weight difference on the turn-ins. The STi just can't enter a corner as crisp or as quickly; it takes a lot more effort. Exiting the corner is a different story.
