Im thinking about a duel friction clutch..... it has a mccloud stage 3 clutch right now, it holds great and had no real issue other then some chattering here and there...... but its used from a buddy of mine who had it in a tko3550 with a t76 turboed fox.
well I planed on pulling the trans to inspect the clutch this winter as its been chattering here and there.
ill install a new throwout bearing while im in there.
I made the point to promotion powertrain that it is a brand new transmission, and the issue had been there scene i got the trans. And that its more then likely a problem with THERE trans.
they decided to tell me that i was past my 30day warranty period and pretty much S.O.L.
That's actually worth looking into. A T-5's only reason for "notchy" shifting is either clutch disengagement problems or synchros acting up. If it's a clutch issue, you'll eat those synchros up. If it's a synchro issue well... rebuild time.
It starts engaging right before it get's beside the brake pedal, so ALL the way up top.
Ive adjusted it a few times, i have the firewall adjuster and the hole deal. Even checked it with the rear tire's in the air, and everything is perfect.... just a notchy ass tran's and Promotion Powertrain says its because I installed the throwout berring wrong.................. RIGHT.
It didn't look clean to me, I like the OEM interior look before old school any day. It held up fine, throws are a tad longer as compared to the MGW I'm running now, because the stick is so damn long.
I like the MGW a lot anyways, plus I couldn't run my Hurst short throw on my TKO because it was T5/T45 short throw. Same with my Steeda Tri-Ax.
I recommend the MGW before anything else by far; makes life a lot nicer.

Yeah, If I were you I'd replace the clutch while you're in there anyways, no sense in doin' it twice again.

It's probably a clutch adjustment issue.... Is it on the floor or engaging up top?

ok. i see what your saying.
I have a Steeda Tri-Ax shifter, and I like it alot, but its the only shifter ive tryed too. So i might pick up a MGW and see if its better.
my only complant its notchy going into gear, but i think thats just the was the T5 was built because its a "Cobra" from Promotion powertrain.
