Greetings:
I just finished installing an ACT 2600 clutch kit. Everything came apart, and back together decent. Here is my question. First through fifth upshift work 100%, reverse has no issues. Downshifting from 5th to 4th, 4th to 3rd, and 2nd to first work fine too, its when I down shift into 2nd gear, as soon as I release clutch and the clutch engages I get a bad vibration, it shakes the dashboard!!! then once the pedal is fully released 2nd does WORK. So, in a nut shell, downshifting to 2nd, push pedal in, pull into 2nd gear.. FINE, but once pedal is released, hardcore .. Chatter!!?, Vibration!?!? Thanks in advance.
 
What disc did you put on? I know that puck discs are known for chatter
 
northern:
a organic street/strip disc, sprung, with a maximum of 400ft.lbs/tq clamping force.
I bought the kit, used.. only had 2k miles of ride time, and came from a friend. The entire clutch aspect, I.E driving, shifting, etc
is perfect, except downshifting into 2nd.

issue solved..
I had my clutch master cylinder rod adjusted to far out. Turned it in a little, and it shifts perfect now.
thanks.
