Try adjusting your shifter cables. Mine doesnt give me any problems at all.

It has to do with the two white clips that connect the rods. Try to play with those to dial it in.

The whole Clutmasters fiasco took it's toll on my linkage. Slowly but surely it got messed up, and I can barely get into any gear now. New linkage set is on order though since the clutch issues have been fixed. $127 for the set.

If your shifter is in adjustment, and your linkage is fine you need to check the roll pin where the linkage connects to the transmission. On that piece, the roll pin has been known to break easily causing shifting to become a nightmare and non-existant. It's under the fuse box if you didn't already know, and it will be a bitch to replace due to limited work space.

No doubt, CM FX400. I have to go all the way to the floor and then some to get it to go in and outa gear. Plus the dang thing rolls with the pedal on the floor while i'm in gear.

SStud, as you probably already know that is the same issue I had with the second pressure plate. The third version fixed that issue for me. I cetainly would buy a Bully clutch or Exedy one over the CM one for sure though. It sucks how we have to pay out the ass for someone elses R&D mistakes!

I agree totally. I even made sure this one had the CANA marking on it before installation. And the dang thing still didn't work. I called CM and they told me it was the dealers fault and that it was probably damaged durring installation. I'm looking at the bully lineup now for a new clutch but TAG is holding some info from us right now that they are supposed to release this week.
