Default Car wants to roll when trying to put into gear??

It will always do it on the first try getting into gear. I have a spec twin disc and Tick mc. I am thinking I need to adjust my mc out a little more. I have about 1k on the build and it just started doing this so I wanted to make sure I did not have a clutch issue. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks for the help.

03 BUSA, I'd adjust your master cylinder and if that don't work I'd say there's still air in the system somewhere...and the rob man, I'd say there's air in your system somewhere and you just need to bleed it out... or you need a shim behind your slave. Mine did the same when I put in a new clutch and slave. After bleeding it and bleeding it, it took care of it

We had to shim the slave on an LS7 clutch to get it to engage right. Most of them don't need it, but everyone once in awhile you'll get one that needs a spacer plate or an adjustable master.

Try pushing the clutch 1/2 way down and put into gear. We see a ton of people putting in adjustable masters and having them adjusted out too much.It causes the clutch to over extend and do the same exact thing you describe.
