Hard Shifting



I should have expanded a bit more.....cluth disk is new.  I used an 8V disk.
Pressure plate is also new.  I used a 16V pressure plate.  I used new
flywheel bolts.  The flywheel was lightened and balanced.  The push plate
and clip are also new.

The tranny was working prior to the install and was working fine until the
other day.  I had no problems since the install and that's been about three
weeks now.It just occurred over the weekend.  I'm gonna adjust the clutch
again but it doesn't seem like it helps....any other ideas?
