Reply to "Grinds in 2nd and 3rd"

After having my ZF rebuilt and installing the correct clutch, mine still exibited intermittant grinding going into 2nd and 3rd. It was solved by replacing the clutch slave with a long throw slave and the plastic line with a steel line.
I'm not suggesting replacing the clutch. I'm suggesting finding out what the clutch is and where it came from.
If it is the right clutch, then the new slave may help. The long throw slave changed the clutch release point on my car as well. The release used to be down toword the floor. Now it releases in the middle of the peddle throw. Much nicer to drive this way.
If your ZF needs rebuilt, then there's no way around it, but if the problem is the wrong clutch or you need more release actuation from your slave, you're going to save a lot of dough by not jumping into a ZF rebuild. If you've never hidden a thing from your wife before...you're gonna want to hide the cost of a ZF rebuild from her.
