Question for the 5-Speed Folks.

Having just ordered up a clutch and "snout kit" for my Legacy I wanted to ask you folks that drive a manual trans in the SVX if you experience any rough, or "juddery" clutch action in the conversion? I ask because I've been unhappy with the clutch action on my GT since purchase as a used car. My previous mech showed me the aluminum snout of the trans, that the throw-out bearing rides on, and demonstrated its tendency to wear/groove over time. The installation of a stainless snout kit, including a new oversize throw-out bearing is a fix for this condition, and I was wondering if anyone had experienced the problem or tried the kit to remedy it. Manufacturer PDM.

I u/s there are "pull" types and "push" types of clutches in use and since most conversions use Legacy/WRX parts wondered about the application here.
