Default another spec horror story?

Alright I have had the spec 3 in for about 1500 - 2000 miles and I have a ram adjustable master and tonight had a ported ls6 slave in the car. What seems to be the problem is now that the shifter rises under acceleration worse the harder the acceleration. There is also a loud clunking noise when going from neutral to first when I start to move forward. It only rises when the car is in gear. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Or maybe not... The shifter rising is unrelated to the clutch. Check your trans mount. The clunking going into gear might be because your clutch needs to be bled. It's not disengaging all of the way.

I agree, it sounds like a broken tranny mount, which is very common when the torque arm is still mounted from the rear to the transmission. The torque arm places a huge load on the transmission and broken tranny mount, even cracked tailshafts can be a result of what can happen to it. Bob

As has already been said, it's a mount issue. No clutch problem is going to cause your transmission to move.

Unless your clutch decides to be cool and explode right at redline, and goes texas chainsaw massicre on the bellhousing. I could see how that would make it wanna move.. lol
