So I recently purchased a Clutchmasters Stage 3 clutch and alum. Flywheel and installed it all. I didn't beat on it at all for the first 100-200 miles and for the first time yesterday I went WOT in 1st and as I tried to shift to 2nd it was as if there was a wall blocking me from shifting into it, so I slowed down and calmly shifted into 2nd like normal and all was smooth. I did the same thing from 2nd to 3rd and it was still "blocking" me from shifting when driving aggressively, it shifts perfectly normal when driving normal. What could the reason for this be?

Try breaking it in a little more. My gmpp clutch did the same thing for a while. Where does your clutch engage at?

I engages super close to the floor probably 1 " off the floor

I Agree with Dart, You havent broken it in long enough, You shouldnt be driving Agressively for about another 200-300 miles or so, The engagment will prolly come off the floor a bit more as you break it in more as well.

Mine did the same thing, bet ur not pushing it all the way to the floor

Close to the floor? Make sure your clutch is bled properly, that'll duo it too. You should be fine once that clutch is fully broke in too.

I think I'm going to bleed it again cause I don't know how well it was bled, I didn't use a vacuum, did It the more tradition way

Definitely not bled good enough. When you press the pedal in quickly, there isn't enough hydraulic pressure to push the pressure plate in all the way, so it's not completely disengaging form the flywheel. When you bleed it good, it will disengage.

My stage 4 just broke, I bought it in October. I hope it was just defective and I won't have the same issue with the new one

You re bought a new one, after the first one broke when many have had problems?


CM is not my first choice either. Price you pay it better work for 10 years.
