Just bought a house so going back into the shop in March is going to have to wait until at least June or the fall when I am sure I have the money.. I was going to go in and put the stock clutch and flywheel back in. I already have the firewall adjuster, LDC Kit, Steeda quick release quadrant, pro 5.0 shifter and a new stock cable.

I also bought a new trans from RPM and I still have the same shifting issues...even worse.. The car shifts sloppy on the street and I cant get down the 1/4 mile anymore unless I granny shift.

I just read somewhere that removing the rubber boot on the cable at the fork can cure some shifting problems. Has anyone experienced this? I guess its worth a try.

The only other thing I think i notice is that the fork gets bound up somehow when its in a position more inside the inspection cover it wont move back and forth.. Im still wondering if a new fork might be the whole problem.

I was going to go to Wicked Motorsports here in NJ with a stock clutch and if they couldnt find anything wrong with the current spec set up I was going to ask them to install a new FMS clutch and flywheel.

Any new IDEAs? things I could try myself until I have money to get it checked out again?????

I've read your issues and sypathize lol! Try a new pivot ball and fork. May be a cheap thing to try. Very possible that the clip or the pivot ball aren't holding and binding you up from full throw. Good luck man!
