It happens to me when I am trying to be light with the clutch (almost like feathering a stock clutch). It worries me, but I don't feel any distinct degradation in how it feels while driving with gears 2-6.

I have emailed SPEC clutch again today and asked them how likely it was that they'd design a single piece, billet flywheel to replace the dual-mass flywheel that our cars have. I know a fair deal about dual mass flywheels, but do not understand why the unneeded expense was invested to put one in our V-6 engine. Their applications on large industrial-scale equipment makes sense, but not our cars. This would achieve, in my opinion, way better clutch pedal feel for us and perhaps a longer life for all components involved if only we had a regular single piece unit.

Please share your thoughts or experiences on this topic if you've had anything fail/replaced with your manual transmission since last year.
