New clutch issues

Jinxx

Ok Im having a issue and not sure of the direction to take ....so I have Z1 road race clutch in my turbo z and from the first day I noticed a strange smell after driving in ..thought it would break in and go away which ..It did get less and less and I didn’t hink much about it now I’m about 7k miles on it it drives fine but I have noticed it is difficult to go in gear while idling....I have checked everything on the hydraulic side and it seems fine ...now on my other z I had the same clutch kit installed and had no issues with it ..no smell after install and no issues going into gear while idling....so I wondering if maybe the first kit may have been defective or if there was a installation error ...one thing that I noticed from the install is that on the first one after my installer was done was that the clutch grabbed instantly when the pedal came off the floor and my installer adjusted the pedal out to max adjustment to get it normal....with my second car no adjustment was needed after install

.....so now I’m trying to decide should I replace the pressure plate and disc with another Z1 kit ...should I go with zspeeds stage 3 pressure plate and if I go that route will the Z1 flywheel match up to it ....or is this a issue of installation and it’s some kind of adjustment inside that needs to be corrected...

Any info would be helpful
