Default Found the problem, the fix?

Ive been having an issue with my transmission scratching every single gear if you shift it fast. If you shift slowly, it has no issues. Ive bled the clutch multiple times and only get extremely tiny bubbles. The clutch feels normal.

I jacked the rear of the car up off the ground, pushed the clutch in and put it in gear. The wheels move for a second and then stop. So this is telling me that the clutch will no fully disengage for about 2 seconds. So it pretty much explains why i have to shift slowly.

Any ideas of what to fix/upgrade?

Kinda sounds like the 'ol expanding master cyl. Maybe a tick master and a new slave cyl. Sounds hydraulic for sure

Thats what im thinking as well.. i just bought the car like this, so im hoping the previous owner hasnt grinded the gears enough to do any internal damage..

Im thinking about doing the tick master, stock replacement slave, ACT HD puck clutch and drain/refill the trans. Hopefully this will solve the issue! Thanks

Sure! I havent experienced this issue myself but i have dealt with having the slave too far from the pressure plate and had a similar issue. Never quite fully disengaged. Good luck I hope that solves it!
