Clutch/misfire issues need help. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey guys been having trouble with my car and could really use some help on this one...

I started experiencing problems about 5,000 miles after I bought and installed an ACT clutch and lightweight flywheel. It would have problems getting into gear from a stop. Continuing to drive the car it kept getting harder and harder to get into gear from a stop and now at this point the only was I have found to get it to go into gear is holding the clutch down for about 5-6 seconds then it will slid into gear fine. I only have this issue when the car is hot, while it is cold it seems to be functioning fine. I have bleed the clutch multiple time and replaced the slave cylinder which all seemed to help for a couple days then would go back to the same issue. I took the transmission back off and decided to take a look at the clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel and all seem to look fine.

And now for the interesting bit...

I decided to install the stock flywheel/clutch back into the car (originally when I removes it my throw out bearing was really bad and it had trouble getting into gear if this might of messed with the clutch/pressure plate/flywheel I’m not sure) and now the engine misfires pretty bad and stalls unless I rev it at idle. It’s also throwing codes P0011 and P0021 which has to do with a timing issue?

Very confused by this and could use some help, thanks in advance!

I was definitely thinking of a sensor on the rear of the engine that would have been bumped when doing the flywheel. My thoughts hadn't yet matured to "reluctor ring" as they are typically on the front end of the crank in my experience.
But yeah, definitely a good first thing to check here

You either bent reluctor ring or got it on there wrong.. It would definitely explain the timing issues and misfiring!

The reluctor ring was put back on wrong. Thanks everyone for the help!
