Yea, thats it. If you can shift with the car off but not with it on it's the stock master. Upgrade to a 02 master and you will be fine or get a mcloed, I bet your slave was fine.Did you upgrade that to a 02 slave?

spec requires a adj. M/C for their clutchs either the ram or mcloud M/C will work also look into the drill mod. that will cure your problem.
