[6MTsupra]

You can scroll through here, long thread but you should find a lot of good information.

Just skimmed it and what I saw was PTB was good and they were having issues with clutchmasters which our Supra guys were having issues with also. I personally have the PTB organic/organic with the upgraded pressure plate and the billet flywheel and Release bearing and it’s perfect. The Shop also said PTB is the way to go at the moment maybe clutchmasters has or will get it together.

edit:added release bearing

So after reading through a lot of of those posts. I forgot when I first bought the car I put the BMS clutch stop in. I just removed it this morning and took care of 60-70% of the issues I was having. A lot also mentioned clutch bushing, and after reading more about it on clutch master’s website, I ordered that.. I believe once I install this, it’ll be back to normal. My car also just hit 5000 miles and the puddle has slop in it as that article describes.

You fitted a whole new clutch assy and that stupid thing was still fitted. No wonder you've got release problems.

I agree that PTB is probably the best option available. However, most of the people who opted for the performance pressure plate had issues.

-which bearing are you using? OEM?
-you should definitely remove the CDV if you haven't already.
-I went the sinter+organic disc with the performance pressure plate. I will be interested to see if it changes at 2-3k miles like you said.
-i get the same shudder in reverse already at 1k miles

Not to totally derail the subjects (6MT noob owner here) - by which methods are people opting for removing the CDV on average? I’ve heard folks say they swap in the E90 slave and others say they picked out the CDV itself. Trying to gauge what I’ll end up doing and whether or not this is a garage project on a Tuesday evening for me or $200-300 spent at a shop with someone else. TYIA

Taking it out yourself isn't particularly hard and I probably had the worst time doing it compared to most people on here due to doing it in my friend's driveway and not having the proper tools.

I was using a deck screw instead of a standard screw, so the screw wasn't grabbing the cdv well enough so I kinda mangled the crap out of it to actually get it to grip. I also didn't have anything to fully pinch the line closed so it was dripping on me the whole time and got some of the transmission tunnel insulation gooey and gross. Even with that experience though it wasn't very difficult and if you're confident enough do your own brakes you could get this done in an hour or two on your own.
