The only reason I went with a spec clutch, was because so many people were using it on turbod16.com. With great success! I noticed that the "ticking" sound can only be heard when the clutch was fully depressed. If I push the clutch pedal about hlaf way. I can change gears and not hear the noise. I'm calling the company up today.
I didn't order the clutch from Ebay. I bought it from Ultrarev.com.
