RX8 stalling at stop's in idle after clutch and tranny job

I just changed my clutch, flywheel and transmission and now the car stalls when it's at idle.... Few things to note is that:

I have a lightweight flywheel and the wideband o2 sensor is gone because I stripped the treads trying to replace it.

My theory is that either the slave is not bled correctly so the clutch never fully disengage or that the missing o2 sensor is making the idle at working temperature not viable.

The car start fine hot or cold as always.

Any of you guys have ideas?

No WB sensor means it has no feedback in closed loop. Once the car is warmed up it idles in closed loop.... so no big surprise its not happy

It also won't be happy any other place either except WOT... your fuel mileage will suck even more than normal

You really need an O2 sensor for any car this side of 1992 to run properly.

So when I get the manifold fix or get a new manifold if they can't fix it, should fix the problem? It used to run so well I'm sad this had to happen before winter
