Default New Clutch Installed!

EDIT: how long does it take to break this thing in? Ive got 150 miles on it and am ready to see how she does already.

Just put in the centerforce DF last night and it feels AWESOME! I absolutely love the pedal feel and the friction point right off the floor. Only thing is that everytime i shift to 3rd gear and let the clutch out the transmission pops out of the gear. I tried to hold it in place and let the clutch up only to result in alot of grinding etc. BTW i have a pro 5.0 shifter on the car not sure if that makes a difference but what would cause me more or less to have a un-useable 3rd gear.
