Thanks, after further invesigation I found out my car has an aftermarket short shifter with stop bolts. As long as they are set correct I should not have a bent shifting fork issue. I hope anyway.

I installed that steeda clutch kit this weekend and it did not solve my problem. I ordered a spec stage 2 clutch today, I hope that does it, what did your car do when you bent that shifting fork?

Well I have not made it that far, after I installed the steeda clutch kit and it was still making noise I left it set. By the by when your shifting folk was bent did your clutch make noise. I'm just trying to rule out a bent shift fork since I was power shifting when all this happened. Thanks

nah. my clutch was silent. shift fork is inside the trans and has nothing to do with your situation. do you mean clutch fork?
