When you say you can't get it into gear do you mean that the pedal is to the floor and you can't get disengagement? In the summer heat mine did that when I sprayed as well. Once it cooled off this fall it was fine....I lost some clutch pressure by the time I was going for the 3-4 shift, but I got it in ok.

I am installing the Textralia and freshly beefed up tranny tomorrow after work. Everything should be great now!

So you mean the shifter won't go into gear? If so, I would guess that it's a hydraulics problem, not a clutch problem.

The only other item could be the master if it is stock. They do wear out and with the 402 on spray it may just be too much for it.

I AM HAVING the same problem, running a 125 shot on a stock motor-new centerforce clutch, flywheel, slave and MC wont shift at high rpm. Mine has a lot of traped air in the MC. i hooked up a mity vac to the resv. pumped it up to 20psi and then pushed the clutch pedal in just to see a whole bunch of bubbles in the line. I havnt finshed trying to get all the air out yet so hopefully this will work for me
