Any one got any suggestions.

I have the same problem, and you need to get your flywheel balanced. I just bought a cf fw steel and I hope this works. CF says that in the upper rpms if the flywheel is not 0 balanced then the weights in the pressure plate get throun to one side and makes it hard to shift.

Seen a properly adjusted master & the drill mod do wonders.
+1 - Let me add make sure your fluid is really clean and I'd suggest upgrading to Motul or some other Hi-Temp fluid for the win.


'98 Formula 6spd(Redline fluid) - B & M Ripper Shifter, Centerforce DF, McLeod Adj Master(Motul Hi temp), drill mod, Redline diff fluid, 3.5 LPE driveshaft, 3.73 Auburn, Air bag right rear, Global West Traclink. (These are the main things that involve this post)

Plain Jane huh?
