Default LT1 clutch problems

I put a Mcloed clutch in my car about 3k miles ago and like the clutch but every so often when i push the pedal all the way in it would make this grinding kind of sound but if i drove it for a minute it would go away. When I was at capitol raceway today after my second pass is started doing it really badly to the point that I think that i need to do something about it. I let it cool all of the way down and it still does it where as normally it would have gone away. If i try and start the car with the clutch all the way to the floor it wont b/c its like something is binding up in there but if I let the clutch out just a little it will work fine. I can shift gears fine if just dont push the clutch all of the way in and it doesnt make any noise. Thanks for any help.

Same thing with one of my RX-7's. (LT1 T-56)

Shorten the "throw" at the pedal if you can. Is there an adjustment (at the pedal)??

The Fork is contacting the PP>. are you using a twin? or a single? The twin's are coming w/ the adj. master.. so you should be able to adjust the rod..

I'm using a single. I dont think that you can adjust it other than a master cylinder. I'm going to see if the T bolt that holds the fork has backed out some or just look for any problems. I'll keep posted on what has happens. Thanks for your idea's.
