why do I grind EVERY time in second

Seriously, everytime I go to the track, on the street. Only in WOT tho. should I shift at like 6000 or something. I have gmpp stage clutch, tranny with bout 20k on it, gs alum bushings and gs short throw.

Should I barley push the clutch in, or put it to the floor. I mean ive owned tons of cars, some boosted and some fast n/a cars and never have I grinded 2nd so damn bad in a car. I would like to think I know how to drive, is this normal???

Do you have a short shifter? Could be your shifting quicker then clutching.. it's happened to me once or twice. Maybe you've cooked a synchro? Although that seems highly unlikely with only 20k on the tranny. Did it happen before you replaced the clutch? Could try bleeding the clutch again in case it's not fully disengaging. Just a shot in the dark.

I do actually remember it doing this before I got all the new stuff. Once in a while it will just grab and im suprised. I just wanna get it figured out, next sundays the track opener here and hope to hit better times than last year. But gotta work out this grinding problem.
