How long did it take you to capitalize every letter in that post?? LOL

Lots of people have problems with clutch engagement and tranny grinding when installing a heavier clutch plate. They usually end up getting a longer clutch rod. Unfortunately this involves taking off your tranny again. If the problem is in fact with the tranny, then you should take it back to the shop and have them look at it. They should inspect it for free, which means your tranny will come off anyways. If they diagnose it to be fine, then have them put in the new clutch rod.
 
thats just it i just got it back from the shop tonight for the 3rd time and the said everything was picture perfect i dont understand!! everything feels awesome until i give it full throttle and it feels like i have the clutch to the floor and flooring it! i have to actually let of the gas a little the then give it gas for it to grab!!!could it be the clutch is not adjusted right?!?

Here is a post on the clutch rod:

If its a new clutch, then its probably not adjusted right. Do you have fluid in the clutch cylinders? If you don't have enough in there, it might not have enough hydrolic pressure. Just a thought.
 
I wouldn't think so...that only helps out when the wheels are spinning at different speeds. Check all the fluids and lines to make sure they are all hooked up and not leaking, and if you need it adjusted the place that installed it should be able to do that for you.
