Engagement point Lately I have been having an issue with the clutch pedal engagement.
It only grabs on the last 2 1/2 inches or so of upward travel. The clutch isn't slipping to my knowledge and still feels strong.
Ever since I have had this problem 3rd gear has been harder to get into at part throttle. It (3rd)was fine before. All the other gears feel fine.
Everything feels fine at full throttle.
Would bleeding the clutch/Drill mod help, or should I start shopping for a new clutch?

The hydrualics need to be upgraded on the earlier F-bodies, we had a similar problem and changing the slave and master cylinder seemed to fix the hard shifting and the hanging in gear. The bleeding and drill mod will help to a point and they will not break the bank.

well you can live with it till the clutch starts to go or you can just go out and buy a new clutch/master/slave cylinder (and maby even a new flywheel) along with the drill mod and NEVER LOOK BACK!!! Pedal travel should be shorter, not much stiffer (depending on which clutch you go with of coarse) and much more precise.
