Question Reverse Problems?

Hey guys, i recently just had a Ram Powergrip(500hp) clutch installed with a new flywheel, updated slave, and adj. master. After this was all completed, i am having a few problems in reverse, it was poppin out. ive talked to a few people locally. One thought is the clutch, which is pretty grabby, isnt getting enough gas in R and is just poppin it out, my thought is it is something dif, like the synchros are shot and cant hold it in gear. Any similar problems or thoughts?

A poorly releasing clutch may make it hard to get into gear or make you think you have fully shifted( when ,in fact ,you have not) .The resultant jump out ( if you short-shift) is then "caused" by th e clutch. That is the only way a clutch would generate a jump out. I suspect it is not clutch related . Look for a mis-adjusted shifter ( not allowing full shift) . Lastly , it could be damaged synchro/ fork & pads for reverse.
