2G Another tranny/Clutch problem

[Jacolu3]

So heres my story
Just put in a new Jacks drag tranny for my gsx
New parts
New Oem throw out bearing
New Competion clutch fork
New extreme psi solid shifter bushings (transmission side)
New Competition flywheel
SBC ss series 2200 pp and TZ/B series kevlar ceramic
New OEM Slave cylinder
New OEM Master Cylinder
Full steel braided clutch line

So when I go out for a drive and try to shift into 1st or 2nd(Downshift or from a stop) the tranny will occiasionally block me out. I can drive for 15 mins without a problem sometimes and then it will just happen.
Same thing when the car is off. I can shift into any gear without any issues and then sometimes it becomes difficult to go into 1st or 2nd.
I bled the slave cylinder when i changed the master and slave by holding down the clutch and opening the bleeder with a vacum hose into a bottle of fluid. Did this until i saw no more bubbles.
Just checked for clutch drag
Reved the engine to 6500 rpm from a stop and the car didnt roll foward.
After I bled the slave I adjusted the clutch pedal to get max fluid.
And the clutch fork seems to be in the middle of the window.

Any suggestions on what to try next?

thanks
Brian

What do you mean too thick? What is the step height? If you dont know thats a problem.

I don't know the step height. I had a shop install the new transmission with new clutch and flywheel, so I don't know the height.

So I just measured the location of the shift fork and it is actually 1/8" off center closer to the passenger side. Looks like I might need a shim.

 

[pauleyman]

Looks like you need to verify step height before you add a shim

Just pulled the tranny, didn't get the step checked yet but I'd say after less than 100 miles I'd say my clutch was dragging.

So I dropped the flywheel off to get the step height checked and should get it back tomorrow. Also going to shim the pivot ball and then reasmble everything with a few new mounts and oem suspension parts while everything is apart and hopefully will be on my way.

Youve got a flywheel problem. It isnt flat.

Yes I think so too. I should find out today for sure when I pick up the flywheel from the machine shop

That wear is uneven and not normal. You did indicate it was a brand new competition flywheel right? Can they really be out of wack even when new? Maybe the shop messed something up or didn't torque the pressure plate right.

 

[Jacolu3]

Well just got the flywheel back and they said it wasn't bad. They said they only took off a 1000th off of it. So I'm going to start to resemble the car. I also noticed I was missing one of the dowel pins which could have contributed to the problem. I guess I'll see once I get everything back together

 

[ShadyDoins]

Even if the clutch welded itself to the flywheel it would still shift fine with the engine off. I'm in the shift mechanisms/trans group

You make sure that little m8 is there on the drivers side of the trans by the inspection plate. I know that bolt helps keep trans aligned.
