Trans problems!!
Well, to start of my clutch pedal is really light and easy to push down. Compared to any other fbody car i have driven. any ideas?
could it be the master cylinder, slave, new fluid, etc...
Also sometimes mostly in 1st and 3rd gear i will be driving and shift into 3rd and it goes all the way in (at least feels as if its going all the way in) and then it will just pop out and shake and rattle around. and ideas?
Also under WOT shifting into gears mostly 3rd and 4th it seems as if the clutch doesn't fully disengage because it will sometimes grind them.?
any help will be appreciated.

A soft pedal feel can indicate air in the system as well as release system component flaws. First do a good bleed of the system before you attack components. This soft pedal/ poor release will give some clash-shifts (any or all gear(s)). There is also a known problem with the orig. aluminum 3/4 shift fork=it wears & can cause a gear jump out. First in 3rd then 3rd & 4th. The fix is also known=an iron shift fork.

The fuse to nthe circuit that powers the reverse inhibitor solenoid may be blown and not allowing the solenoid to fire=that will make the load to get the reverse gate rather high.
