Won't go in gear, please help
02 Trans Am, just minor bolt ons, brand new hydraulics, pro 5.0, textralia clutch, and 9". It doesn't do it every time I race it, but if it starts spinning at the top of first and if I short shift 2nd it just won't go in second gear. It doesn't really matter how hard I jam it, it still won't go if it doesn't want to. I noticed today when I ran it all the way through 1st and went to granny shift into 4th it did the same thing it does with second. Hell the way things are right now 3rd has never felt so easy to hit.
Shifting nomally around town it requires more effort to **** than it used to. It doesn't grind when shifting so whats the deal, bent fork? The clutch is working great, just like everybody elses, so it's not like it's not fully disengaging.

Nope just 2nd for me... hmm im gonna try bleeding the line again. And then wrap the clutch line. Textralia suggests a stock master, so adj. isnt the way to go. Thanks for chimin in tho. Anyone else?

I finally got around to messing with it more and I found out the clutch wasn't fully disengaging. I talked with Jeff and Peter, who were always willing to help, about my problem countless times. We decided that there was a variance in my setup somewhere. I ended up building an adjustable master out of a spare stocker and it works perfect now.

"adjustable master out of a spare stocker"
any write ups on that? Ive got that problem where it wont go into gear (for all gears). I guess drill mod and adjustable master is my fix
