Hey guys, I noticed that now after my new clutch and before the new clutch that third gear will sometimes have a slight grind/notchy feeling to it, moreso when downshifting. What should I look into to solve this problem? The tranny gear oil I have in there now is an 80-90 lucas performance oil that I picked up from the parts store.
 
Is your hydraulic clutch system working fully? Slave and masters are good? No leaks?


Is your clutch fork straight and perpendicular with the transmission?
If not your pivot ball is bad.

You could try running some syncromesh in it. I really like it.
