I didn't even think this was possible on a manual trans but I just got done putting my trans back on for the second time, new everything minus clutch. I bleed the system, do a last minute flight check, everything's good and start her up! Car at idle shifts into every gear, 5th is a little vague, so I go out for a road test and the car while shifted into 1st pulls off the line like its in a higher gear; ie it's falling on its face, I'm slipping the clutch to get it rolling and around 20mph is when I'm able to finally fully release the clutch. Question is: how is it possible that I messed up the linkage for it to behave this way? Is it even possible? Here's a picture of me going 27mph in "1st" at just over 1500rpm. What did I do wrong? Thanks you guys!
