Exclamation Spec Twin Disk not wanting to go in gear at high rpm, What Causes Clutch Drag???
Got a brand new spec twin disk in a 00 trans am, with the correct small shim with tick master bench bleed. Around town cruising it goes in super smooth with 1 finger but as soon as u floor it, gets real hard to go in gear. if you rev the car with the clutch pushed in at about 5-6k rpm, the car moves "creeps forward" was told this is clutch drag..Something's not right. Help appreciated thanks

I would say you probably need to adjust your tick master a little more.

If the clutch is dragging and the shim is correct the master needs adjusting.

Make sure all the air is out of your system. You have to adjust your master per the instructions that tick gives you,
