Just in: Tick/Monster. Can't get into gear at idle, but can while driving and off..
I installed a Tick master cylinder last week, and have had no problems with it once adjusted properly. Today I just installed a Monster stage 2 clutch, with lightweight flywheel, and speed bleeder. The car was bled a TON.. Well, when I am driving around, I can get into all gears. When the car is idling I can only get like 1st and 4th easily. Reverse is HARD to get into gear, but it goes. 2nd seems like it has a permanent Skip-shift, like it wants to go to 4th instead. But when I am driving, every gear feels smooth as butter. What gives?

I first tried exactly where I left it, and then adjusted it out a bunch, almost above the brake pedal, and still no luck. Unless I need to go higher? But I did get on flat surface and try the clutch to 6k rev, and doesn't move one bit.

Yep. I just looked up a similar problem. SNL recommended switching them because they are identical. I bet I do have them switched because I had to really stretch one wire to get to plug into where the reverse lockout is. Sounds highly possibly I have them flipped. I'll get up under there soon and flip them and try it.. FML

yeah I almost would think that the wires were too short to do it wrong, but i have heard of other people doing it. On my car, I have them wire ties to the O2 sensors, so I cant screw it up. Hopefully that will take care of it for you.

Yep, switched the connectors, and all is good. I didn't think about it when I was hooking stuff up because most all connectors are different to prevent things like this. Lesson learned.
The clutch and flywheel are AWESOME
