Default Mcleod shifting hard

ok i used to have a centerforce dfx with a ram 6 puck disk loved it but i wanted more life. so.

when i did my head swap i droped the eng out and put a (McLeod RACING 75223) btw i was a cheep *** and looked up each part and saved 200 bucks.

but now i cant get it to shift quick. i had to use a shim with my DFx and then used an adjustable master as well.

i have it adjusted fine but it does not seem to shift nice. its killing my ETs

i just replaced my syncos 3-5k b4 the clutch and it always worked nice.

i wanna know if any one has any thing going on like im having. and is any one having the clutch slip when u get a good shift in to 3rd or 4th gear

What adjustable master cylinder are you using? Sounds like your not getting the release you need.

If the finger is bent send it in and we'll take care of it. As far as the master cylinder is concernd I have found that the pressure plate that is in the 75223
kit releases the best with our large bore adjustable master cylinder P/N 139301.
