is it a ap 6 paddle or a alcon, IIRC AP dont do a 6 paddle, only a 4, if it is the 4, then these can tend to be a bit juddery, you have to almost re learn how to use the clutch, ie on or off.

was the flywheel skimmed when it was fitted - if its not been fitted long on an unskimmed flywheel, it might need a good couple of 3rd gear starts and a long cool down to let it bed itself to the flywheel .

if you think about it youve fitted a better clutch to improve the grip between the flywheel and the pressure plate , so what , now you want it to slip on the flywheel and pressure plate ?? c'mon !!!

sorry, but they do judder a little , like i said , its a very grippy cerametalic compound that grips like fook !! , fooks flywheels and pressure plates by slipping it anyway !!
