yes 555r's , my wife drives it more than me and I was concerned seeing it would/could break loose even in 3rd with the winter rubber that was on it (allthough she claims to have never triggered the shift light) it hooks well now 
it wont be seeing the track until it gets an adjustable master... , I am sure you could best your 11.95 on these tires
keep piling the miles on that 2010 , remember I called dibs......

I know you called dibs on the 2010 haha...but I may never sell this one...it's already modified more than the old car was

When I put the new clutch in the car I put in all new OEM hydraulics (plus the Tick remote bleeder line)...are they acting up on you? The original stuff was fine until the odometer turned around 190K, then the pedal would stick to the floor occassionally on high RPM shifts...once I changed it all over though (at 210K) it was fine for me...oh well...I had the 2010's pedal stick to the floor once already too...at the track, after the best 60' the car has ever cut...really pissed me off that I couldn't get down the track and get it a best ET too.

my pedal feels fine...shifts slick until full throttle and high rpm combined - then you gotta be patient....searches here lead to adjustable master and be done with it , dont get me wrong we are thrilled with the car - it was/is a tremendous value. Its been a long time since i had a stick car but I cant shift it at full boogie like I could always shift a muncie or super t 10 car and the kirban shifter feels nice and positive.
It needs a full push of the clutch ( when driving aggressively I move the seat way forward to force myself not to cheat the clutch and still need to back off the gas a lot)
with the miles it could be internals/synchro issue but from reading around here it sounds like an aftermarket adj master will improve your shifting either way so i am thinking try that first over winter....

Only mid 12's so far in the new car...making more power than the stock clutch can take (can't leave like I want to, the clutch starts to get the car out of the hole then gives up)...trapping 116 mph without spinning though (when I leave like a pansy since the clutch sucks)...it'll get a twin disc and gears this winter...and heads and a cam and a fast 102 and............................................... ..
I think you're just seeing what a T56 shifts like...I'd never shift any car without putting the clutch pedal all the way on the floor...so I'm not sure what you mean by it requires a full push...of course it does...just do it fast lol.
Sounds like you need to sit in the passenger seat of my old car and let me take it or a rip to show you how I always shifted it...milliseconds in my data logs.

It's kinda funny what you said about the seat...I am leg tall...that seat spent all it's life with me as far down to the floor and as far back from the pedals as it goes...then just set the seatback so my right wrist landed on the wheel with my shoulder against the seatback and a slight bend to my elbow.

i also vote on a rebuild. even tho it may be super clean and run great, gaskets are old, and when you start puttine mods and power in yoru gonna spend your extra time replacing them eventually. so get it done with mods in 1 shot. instead of 2

I've got a picture of the Odometer at 100K, and at 200K (and some various other spots too)...but when I was letting the car have it doing a burnout, I was also steering it to avoid crashing (it was in third gear and moving pretty fast)...so I couldn't step outside of it to take video or get a picture haha.
