North,

Some background: 150 miles on new engine, trans, clutch, pedal assembly...... Ect.
As I have been trying to put milage on this build I can't seem to help but notice the car doesn't like to go into 1st gear when stopped. It will either hang on the syncros for a bit then go into gear or it will attempt to go in then it will kick out of gear and grind. When moving it goes into 1st like butter.
I bled the clutch and master the way teamRIP says and I also adjusted the pedal ass. The way jacks trans states. I have about 2 inches of play from engagement to the floor. I am running a PTT twin disk with the Isuzu slave. The weird thing is the clutch drags when trying to go into gear but not at 7500 rpms. I put the car on jack stands to see the slightest amount of drag and those were my results. It sounds like a dragging clutch issue but it seems like I did everything I can and it is still giving me problems. I'm tired and just want to see what others have to say about this, maybe I'm missing the obvious.
Ps, I'm running lightweight shockproof trans fluid and dot 5 clutch fluid.
