Tranny Problems

So I went out to the track tonight. I just changed the fluid to BG Syncroshift II or whatever it's called. Changed the T-Case and rear diff fluid as well.

After a few runs, I pull into the pits. On the previous run I had never had any issue with the tranny making noises or loss of power. No lost gears. But once I stopped the car I could not get it back into gear. Once the car is moving everything shifts perfect. But at a stop it takes extreme force to get it into 1st. Stopped, in first, with the motor running. The car does not roll forward, and starts moving normally. Any ideas?

I though the transmission was a cable. I see no slave cylinder?

The clutch is an exedy twin disc. I thought they were supposed to be indestructable! :P

I'm going to check the fluid levels. Then the adjustment. If that doesn't fix it then I'll pull the tranny and take a look at the clutch.

When I got the car the bolt on the clutch adjustment was finger tight. So it just kept pushing it self out of adjustment. Finally pushed it to far and the clutch wouldn't disengage. So just readjusted it.
