What does this means? Today my clutch engages early unlike before and its getting really hard to shift between gears. The tranny is fighting me. Before it was very smooth and easy going. What could this be? Please help.

Re: What does this means?
does it happen at all rpms or just at WOT and is it on up shifts and down shifts.
my clutch seems like it doesnt want to disengage at WOT and from my research on here i think its the hydrolics.

Re: What does this means? Today it got even worse. I couldnt get the gear into Reverse and even when my foot is planted on the clutch the car seemed to want to move when its in gear. I checked the clutch fluid and it was fine. The master cylinder were replaced a month ago with the clutch. So i dont know if thats the problem. The car was running fine for a month with the new clutch and master cylinder. What could be the problem???

Re: What does this means? Maybe you need an adjustable MC, but i don't know why it would change all of a sudden like that. Just try to get it fixed fast because when your clutch doesn't disengage all the way like that it's real hard on your synchros. In the mean time double clutch when you downshift, match revs, etc.

Its driving fine now, but i need a stronger clutch now to hold the power and weight of my car. I might go with STAR stage 4 ceramic unsprung clutch. Mighty Mouse is running it with 800rwhp+ and 3800lbs race weight with no problems. The Mcleod is biting hard now on the streets, but it just doesnt like to be run at the track on stikcy tires with the weight and power the car is making.
