1st and 3rd gear problem Yesterday i went to boost for boobies here in Mn. Everything went perfect until about 30 min from home. When i was getting up to speed i went to put it in 3rd and it wouldnt let me. It wont grind syncrous unless i try and force it. Everytime i would slow down i would go to downshift and once i would slip it out of 6th it would kinda get stuck in neutral unless i kiinda wrestled around with the shifter. About 20 miles later i went to shift 2nd to 3rd and it worked flawlessly. So now everything worked except it would still be a bitch to get out of nuetral when down shifting. about 10 min later same issue happened with first gear. And that was right before i got home. Does anyone have any suggestion on what this could be?! Doesnt make any sense to me. I went through last year and replaced 3, 4 forks and all new pads and new shifter bushing.

Wouldnt that grind syncros everytime? It feels like there is a roadblock in first gear before i grind syncro. Could that still be a clutch issue. I am running stock clutch on a 383 lt1 so that could very well be possible.
well theres still a good chance it could be a sync. i just know my stupid self didnt bleed my clutch once and i had closed to the same problems couldnt even get it into first with the car running. after beating my head for a day i remembered i didnt bleed my clutch

whats the proper way to bleed my slave? i did put a brand new one on last fall and wasnt 100% sure what i was doing, but pedal pressure feels ok. I could redo it and see if that wasnt the problem.
