Now, a LOT of pressure is needed to push the clutch down. What could that problem be? I'd like it to be nice and smooth.
Is it a stock clutch or do you know?

compared to a honda clutch, i dont think it'll ever be nice and smooth =p mine eased up a bit once i put in my steeda kit, but its still a little tough. even newer fords have pretty tough clutches

Not sure if it's a stock clutch or not, but I do know it's new. We discovered that when rebuilding the engine.
When I say rough, I mean it even feels like it's scraping against something, and sometimes it'll stick. D=

Bad and Good news

I replaced my throw-out bearing - YAY

It didn't fix it - BOOOO

I found the problem - YAY
The bellhousing wasnt securely bolted to the motor so the trans was kinda sitting at a angle and it would cause contact which was causing the noise i was hearing
