Reply to "1st and 3rd grind"

I just installed a new Centerforce from Hall. It came with a new flywheel too. Total about $700. If you know your clutch is worn you can extend the shaft from the slave cylender to get more disengagement. I would not worry too much about it slipping at this point. All you need to know is if more disengagement will fix your grind. My trans has a bit of a grind into 3rd, since it is that gear only I belive it to be a sycronizer. Your pedal should not release right at the floor, if properly working you should be able to get about 2-3 inches before it starts to grab. I talked to Roy Butfoy once and he said for about $1500 he will go through it and replace seals and gaskets, parts were extra.
