Default McLeod Single Disk Problems Help!!

Installed the McLeod single disk and master and the pedal feels fine but the car has a hard time going into gear. Reverse also is very difficult, actually the most difficult by far. For the record I have a 04 GTO and McLeod said I was the first in a GTO. They at first sent the wrong master then had to get a shim from a spec 3 clutch because McLeod did not send any. As I said Pedal feel is fine but it does not like going into gear. Help me Please!!

Have an adjustable master? Have you readjusted the pedal ?

Yes you have to adjust the pedal. If it has too much free play it will not be able to compress enough fluid to release the clutch.
