I just installed a new South Bend OFE clutch and used tranny I got from another board member. After the install I took the car out for a quick test drive and first gear seems to not wanna grab right away. There's very little power and it seems to chatter for the first couple 1k RPMs. Then it grinds going into 2nd and 3rd is fine 50% of the time, 4th is fine but 5th sometimes grinds like it doesnt wanna go in. Besides bleeding the slave cylinder, what else could be the problem? Shifter cables maybe (or I hope rather than the clutch itself or flywheel, flywheel resurfaced to .610). I'm currently at school and will be off in by noon. So Im gonna go back home and try to get my car running. Any help will do. Thx
