I'm stupidly stoked about the build, been wanting to do this for years now, can't believe I'm finally doing it, haha.
Mike, gonna need some help on the exhaust part in a couple months, need to modify the down pipe and hook it to my current exhaust. But I'm so far away from that right now I guess it isn't worth bringing up, lol.
Parts left to buy:
Transmission
Rebuild clutch disk w/ better pads
turbo
wastegate
blow off valve
intercooler w/ pipes
injectors
fuel pump
headgaskets (cometic mls)
Yeah.....

So finished up the car, it is better but still a problem. The shifts are a lot easier, goes to first and reverse much better. When shifting there is much less effort to get it to go to gear. However, multiple shifts still does the sticking, however now it will still be able to shift just you can tell the pedal is not coming back how it should, before it would completely stick at the floor now it sticks part way down.
So it looks like to completely fix it it will prob need a clutch and slave
I am thinking the ls7 clutch. What do you guys think. My car is mostly just a street driven car, as you guys know, but any suggestions will help. I dont know when I will be buying one as the car drives fine on the street, it is just after multiple high rpm shifts, and I really dont want to have to spend the money right now.

well i would pick the LS7 clutch especially since your not gonna heavily mod the car.
drives like stock on the street, no noise or clatter, ive beat on mine pretty good and its held up great at the track and street

That is the one I am thinking about going with, I may be waiting a while to do anything though since I can drive on the street just fine with it as is. I will start doing some more research though on clutches, I have heard lots of good about the LS7 one and am leaning that way but I know there are other good options out there too. Did you do slave on yours when you swapped it out?

I am going to try to bleed it once more just to be sure there is no air in the system. It is not terrible just after multiple higher rpm shifts it still was doing it some. It seems like it shifts a lot smoother and goes into 1st and reverse easier now though. I will prob just drive it for a while still since daily driving it does just fine.
