Quick back story. About 2 months ago I had an Exedy Mach 600 clutch put in and had them replace as well as the Flywheel, Clutch line, Pilot bearing, and throw-out bearing.
Now, when the car is off I can easily get into every gear without issue. When the car is running however I run into the following problems.
-Occasionally VERY difficult to get it into 1st (from a complete stand still). I would work the clutch a few times. Move the shifter handle around, and eventually I just get pissed and grab the stick with both hands and jam that sucker in. When it finally goes in there is no grinding or anything strange, it just pops in.
-Second gear while rolling (obviously) when shifting from 1st it will occasionally just not go in. Again I just pull with all my might and it pops in. No grinding, no whining, nothing., just pops in.
-Same story from reverse. From a complete stand still sometimes is just wont go in. I have to grab with both hands and just pull as hard as I can.
-Other times I will have NO problems and they slide right in. Makes me want to scream.
Here is what I have done. Swapped out the shifter in case is was something wonky there (was planning on it anyway). I also bled the system again (since the shop that did the clutch likely did it and the system looked free of air.
I called the shop that did it and they said "its probably your synchros" which seems very unlikely as I am having a problem with reverse and 1st from a complete stand still.
Sorry for the novel. Any help would be appreciated.
