Sounds like the clutch isn't fully disengaging. Are you able to adjust the rod on the pedal such that it's not screwed in (into the clevis) as much? You'll also need to readjust the limit switches on the top/bottom.

I would get this resolved asap because you're causing damage to the trans when going into gear if the clutch isn't fully disengaged.

Yes I feel like it isn’t disengaging fully ..Pedal has been adjusted ....and is adjusted for full stroke on the master cylinder.....that was my first thing I started looking at...and yes looking to to resolve is ASAP ....just started feeling it and i never force it into gear and there isn’t any grinding whatsoever

Is it difficult getting into 1st only or all gears? If 1st only, what happens if you go into say 4th, then immediately into 1st?

If it's all gears, then possible clutch spacing isn't right inside the bell housing¿? Slave has a finite amount of movement to disengage the clutch. If spacing isn't right then it doesn't disengage all the way.

Was it fine after initial install and this issue just developed?

It doesn’t cause a issue every time but when it does it doesn’t seem to want to go in any gear ...if it’s a spacing issue ..is there a way to adjust the plate and csc..or should I be looking at replacing the plate ..that’s why I was looking at the zspeed clutch kit
