alloy clutch wont help, you need thicker springs or to lower your idle speed.

It could be something binding the clutchbell to the shoes, or a broken clutch spring. I would pull the clutchbell and check.

this a great set of shoes, i run them in all my cars with no problems. Also when changing the shoes slip a new set of bearings in to keep it silky smooth

Make sure your clutch bell bearings haven't collapsed too. The only time my clutch ends up locked on solid is when the bearings explode.....normally during the finals

either caryfully dremel away at it, or just drive the car and never bring it to a stop, it should wear away after a while

ahh good, its a nice clutch. put it on with the heaviest springs if your just bashing and it means you can have a nice high idle
