Just wondering is there any easier way to adjust the pivot ball at release fork other than taking off the transmission? Actually I am having bad shifting at high RPM. It is grinding until RPM go low. I bleed the clutch & extend the slave rod & got little improvement. I already bought red line fluid but I did not try it yet. I should add some washers before tightening the pivot ball. It is too late now. Any suggestion please..

Have you tried adjusting the cable ends on the shift cables? I had to adjust mine after I installed a different tranny because of the same issues you're experiencing. Once I had everything adjusted, it worked perfectly. The only bad part of the job is accessing the cable ends under the center console.

I adjust the cables as I replaced the rubber with bushings. Little change but still clutch problem..

Do you have the steel braided line?

My clutch wouldnt disengage after 8k RPM. I replaced the factory rubber line with the steel braided line and the slave cylinder at the same time and it helped a ton. I only had the usually high RPM clutch drag after that.

How far off the floor is the clutch disengaging?

Do you have the steel braided line? No.... Can I use 1G ebay SS line?

How far off the floor is the clutch disengaging? I am not sure but I think from the half way to floor.
