Message	So today I started up the Z and noticed some noise (not much, just some whining) when I had the clutch in- figured it just needed some warming up so I took it for a drive. I went down the highway a couple miles and turned around to come back. When I turned around, I stopped and couldn't get it into first. Luckily I was sort of on a hill and pushed it down the hill to try and rev-match. I had to slam it into first and after I was moving I could rev match pretty well to limp it back home. I tried bleeding the clutch, and it had plenty of pressure and no bubbles. Its in a parking lot right now so I can't diagnose much but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of how it could fail catastrophically like that. By the way I have a RPS max clutch and RPS flyswheel and the TOB was replaced when it was installed approx 1k miles ago. Thanks for any help.
