doesnt want to go into reverse... takes alot of muscle to shift... is there a break in period??

put in new syncros, replaced 3rd gear.... shimmed input shaft..... put in steel shift fork for 3rd/4th. etc.....

Well depends. Breakin is about 500 miles with ours and it should go into reverse unless the solenoids were plugged in wrong. What kind of fluid was used? Ours come with a breakin sheet to explain what needs to be done. Where bronze pads used and billet keys?

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply.... It goes into reverse after double clutching... it is notchy and it clicks the gears.... I prefer sliding.

I assume the pads are stockers..... but new. No billet keys here.

I put 280 miles on it yesterday...highway... shifted as much as i could. after it warms up it gets a slight bit easier... it takes some muscle to shift... not good for racin but good for me ole arm workout! also some gears grinded a couple of times.

I am thinking I need to rebleed the hydrolics... how do i do this?

I have a new ClutchMasters stg 3 clutch, light steel flywheel, drill mod, new slave, and stock master cylinder.

Be certain you have a good clutch bleed as well.

Mine was a little notchy after rebuild but went away quickly.

is the clutch disengauging all the way, that's what it sounds like to me.

turn the car off, push in the clutch, and see if it shifts easy. if it shifts easy without the car running you've got a clutch that is dragging, for one reason or another

i think the tranny is fine.... probably was good to go the whole time.... i replaced it for nothin!


so .... does the clutchmaster need an adjustable master?? it barely goes into all gears... have to double clutch it to get it in... and takes a bit of force.... then clicks in.

You can make your stock master cylinder into an adjustable one. When i installed my RAM HD it did not disengage all the way, so i made the master adjustable and all was good

If the clutch engages under 1/4 pedal travel I would say it's the clutch causing your problems. You can either shim the slave or install an adjustable Master.I prefer the shim. -This is also figuring the htdrolics are bled right now.

seems like the master is bad..... maybe not... most likely is the case though.
