McLeod Problems I've just replaced my clutch with a McLeod single disk, a McLeod adjustable M/C, and an 02 slave. The problem is when I shift, it grinds going into second
Will this get better as it breaks in or what. I am doing the 500 mile break in, but i tried shifting fast at about 2,500 RPM and this is when it happens. I hope it is not my synchros! Anyone else have this problem and what can I do to fix it.
Thanks

Didn't realize you had freeplay fluctuating. Sounds like you could have some air in the line. These McLeod M/C's can be a real pain to bleed fully. Took me about 4 different bleeding sessions to get mine to not fluctuate.

It feels like the shifter has a kind of stop it has to come over before it goes into gear. Anymore ideas?

Air in the line can cause all those symptoms you are having. I have went through them all at some point. Ask Jason99T/A about that, lol.
Air in the line can cause flucutating clutch pedal feel, it can cause engagement points to move around, and if there is air in the line it can cause the clutch not to fully disengage as you are not getting full travel, which in turn is probably causing that "stop" feeling you described.
If you are confident you have the system bled as best as it can be bled, and you are confident there isn't anything wrong with your MC, then there is always a possiblity that your slave is bad. I know of several people, including myself, that bought new slaves from GM only to find out that they were defective from the start.
But, as I said, it sounds to me that air is in the system. I hope you can get it figured out soon because I know how frustrating it can be. Good luck.
