Alright so I read through a few threads and can't really pinpoint an answer so I thought I'd ask. I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere. I recently got my engine rebuilt(stock), with a new exedy oem replacement clutch, act streetlite, and some bolt ons. First thing I noticed was that clutch engagement was very low. Second thing I noticed was that going into reverse was impossible when the car was fully warm. In the initial cold start, I can back out of my driveway just fine. Reverse would just grind when fully warm. If I turned the car off, shifted into reverse, then turned it on, it would work fine, no reversing issue, pop out, etc.
I had used a non oem slave cylinder and I believe that was the issue for the low engagement because I replaced the rod with a longer one I had laying around and engagement rose to where the pedal feel should be. The reverse issue remains, however. Clutch has been bled many times but that doesn't seem to be the issue. I'm going to order a new oem slave, as well as some shifter cable bushings and shifter base bushings. I just spent a lot on this build and it is my daily so I am trying to go with the easier/cheaper fixes to prevent as much downtime as possible. Any suggestions/ideas as to what to check or replace? Any and all help is appreciated.
