Hi, you really should start a new thread for yourself, but that's ok, bumping this thread isn't a bad idea


You have any trouble getting into reverse, IE does it tend to grind a lot?

How about low gear from a standstill, you push in the clutch, and mash it into low, how does that act?

This SOUNDS like a clutch that is not releasing clean, but WAIT there's more..................

At higher RPM, most any performance clutch, even factory, have centrifugal weights which increase clutch pressure. This means that there is more strain on the linkage to release the clutch cleanly

So if something is rusty, bending, starting to fatigue and break in the linkage, or if the linkage is a "little short" the pressure plate might not be releasing cleanly

IN ADDITION I fought a problem at the very end of my Navy enlistment, and did not properly have time to get into the problem (Other things going on)

WHAT TURNED OUT to be my problem is that the clutch disc had shed tiny bits of, well, "clutch disc" and these pieces of lining material had LODGED between the pressure plate and the clutch cover. So when the pressure plate released, it JAMMED against these pieces of disc and would not move far enough to release the clutch

(I could shift the thing JUST as fast WITHOUT the clutch. It went 11.80 at Carlsbad using 2, 3, 4 gears, and shifting with no clutch)
