Hello; I am going to follow this thread to see what happens as I am interested in a manual shift trans.
Two things come to mind when reading thru. First is the springs in the clutch disc on most vehicles. It has been my understanding those springs are in place to cushion engagement of the clutch. The springs absorb some of the forces when you let out the clutch and it starts to lock up against the pressure plate. I think it makes for a smoother engagement.
As to why this might an issue with this clutch is a question. I watched a video about dual clutch manuals. In the video only one clutch disc has those small springs while the second clutch disc does not have them. I have no clue if the two clutch discs being different will make a difference such as the OP reports. Just a WAG at this point.
