Default Help - Clutch/Transmission symptoms

Monster stage 3 clutch w/ billet flywheel.
Stock master & slave cylinders.

Symptoms are...
Gear shift gets rejected sometimes (esp. 3rd)
1st gear sometimes doesn't engage easily & pops out of gear.
Fast, short clutch shifts can result it grind noises though it goes into gear.
Sometimes there is lots of pressure to shift into gear (esp. 1st, 3rd, & reverse)
Kinda feels like its a 'dry' shift

Not enough clutch fluid?
Bubbles in system? Re-bleed & flush?
Throwout/pilot bearing bad?
Other ideas?

Flush new fluid in the system. How old is the master and slave?

I think they or the slave was replaced when the clutch went in, about 5k miles ago. I'm uncertain though.

Flush the system as recommended. If that doesn't fix it it may be time to upgrade your M/C.

Do you have adjustable stops on your shifter?

Interesting point, I have no clue if it does. Its an aftermarket Hurst shifter, I think the Billet one or whatever its called, but I've never looked at it.
