southbend clutch questions

[JEccles]

just got my con-fe installed and im experiencing some shifting problems, its like the clutch cant completely disengage so shifting is real slow and its kinda hard to get into gear from a stand still. have any of you guys experienced this? im thinking its just my slave cylinder going south since i had a problem shifting down from fourth to third sometimes before i had the clutch installed. also after i got the new clutch installed as i wind down the engine at the lower end of the rpm range i can here much more noise from the transmission (like a drive shaft howl from bad bearings) and im wondering if this is normal? any ideas?



thx,

JJ

Which Pilot bearing did you use? Also does the clutch engage at the same place?

i used the one that came with the southbend, and i would say it engages mabye a little lower than before but not much. im hoping all this will go away once the clutch breaks in... ...

its much better now... ... why, i have no clue. i went to get some transmission fluid from chrysler yesterday and almost had a fit when they told me how much per QT. anyone know of a good place to get some Redline MTL in houston?
