sticky clutch?

I had a sachs racing clutch and lightweight flywheel installed. Im having a issue of the flywheel "sticking to the clutch disk". After the car is warmed up or have been driving around for a while, if i come to a stop i cant get the car into gear, unless i rev it up to about four grand, or put into first as im coming to a stop. When i rev it, i let the rpms drop down, then it goes into gear fine. Another one is if im slowing down, its sometimes tuff to get the shifter out of gear. My tech completely took the clutch back out, said everything looks fine, and even showed be the clutch disk witch looked good.
Any advise on what it could be?

thanks,
josh.

There have been some issues with the Sachs racing pressure plate. I know of at least three that have done what yours is doing. It will need to be replaced. Nothing will fix it. It is not releasing.

i have an update on my clutch situation.
I finally have a new pressure plate coming.
Word on the street is that it took so long to get because Sachs is backed up because ALL of this style clutch is recalled(even the ones that are currently working). Im not sure exactly why, or when there going to release the info, but yeah, recall. something about the pressure plate is going to fail on most cars???
FVD has the info on it. I guess its a pretty big deal.
i wish i had more info,

josh.
