Ok well I have a brand new (rebuilt) tranny from Jackson, (there awesome BTW) anyway here is what I have in front of it. A ACTX flywheel (12lb) and a SBR clutch disk. Now it shifts fine and everything but BUT I noticed something that worried me.

When I push the clutch pedal ALL the way to the firewall I will hear a odd scaping sound. Now If I do it a time or two it will stop, untill I start to put it in gear then it will come right back. However if I dont push the pedal ALL the way to the floor it never makes a sound and goes in smooth. There is a small window for this though as I can smoothly shift it into gear higher in the pedal's stoke but doing so I know the clutch is dragging and really working those new syncro's.

Sooo could that sound be because the pressure plate is being over extended and rubbing the springs on the clutch disk? And will adjusting the pedal at the master cyl help prevent it?

I adjusted it some, seems better but I would still like to know what it's doing when it makes that sound. (which it still does)
 
I was in FT. Sill OK while my father installed the trans, flywheel and clutch, the throw out bearing was a OEM Mitsu bearing so I wouldn't think that was the problem unless somehow it's not installed correctly or somthing is rubbing.

I took it to the drag strip last Friday and ran it, on did a 13.9 but hey I had a blown HG LOL. Anyway shifted fine and held so I don't supose it could be that bad. It was little nochy but went into gear fine
