South Bend Clutch-bad install

I'm jealous you can row through the gears with little effort on the clutch pedal. Is it slipping? My car went in for the 4th time to raise the engagement

I'm jealous you can row through the gears with little effort on the clutch pedal. Is it slipping? My car went in for the 4th time to raise the engagement point near the top to see if it improves gear shifting. On cold mornings, I can't even get in gear and the car crawls forward and back. I have to shift to another gear then back. After warming up it gets easier. Then on the 1-2 shift at high RPM, I can't get in 2nd or it grinds. I've not tested the car after yesterday's adjustment, but I'm still getting the hang of the higher engagement point (close to stock).

Loud chattering is normal especially if you switched out the flywheel to a one piece.

Thats a lot worst than mine bro. What im afraid is that i can put it in gear and drive away without the use of the clutch at all besides when starting car. I just read something about the clutch not disengaging and burning up. Your wanting yours higher and I want mine to be lower to the floor.
it is a one piece flywheel, it is loud And dont like it but i guess thats the price i got to pay to play. BUT quieter than stock.

Its definitely louder while driving low speeds and gears. But quiet at idle. For example 33mph in 5th clatter/ LIKE grinding noise but once car hits 2500-2600 rpms or 40 mph over all noise goes away. But after driving around a while the idle clatter is minimal.
Thanks.

Give me a call this eve, I have some info for you that will help with the bleeding issue. I found today where the air is getting trapped.
I tore my entire car down today and started from scratch much like you guys do to see what was going on with the bleeding and learned much from it.

I have had mine apart so many times before when setting all this up I wanted to go right from scratch so I can better help you all out. Went very well
