Another ACT lock up..!Help

Yesterday I went to the Drag Strip and no matter how I drive the car, I cannot manage to engage 2th/4th gear,!!!I have tried differents methods of shifting,adjusting clucth and nothing the same 2th/4th gear high rpm lockout..

this only happens when I lauch the car..after that when returning from the end of the strip I beat the car and It grabs all gears just fine..

Will Bleeding the clutch help?

Is there a fix for this?I have read hundreds of threads and no answer...

welcome to the club. I doubt there is a fix, cuz I spent alot of time and money trying to get mine work.
The full faced discs atleast are a waste of effort. i did a twin this weekend and a total night and day difference in every aspect.

Sorry to hear of your troubles. I know you said you already have, but I would suggest adjusting the clutch again. This process can be very tricky to get it perfect. I spent a great deal of time dialing it in perfect (a gazillion adjustments) and I'm confident that if you did the same thing you could see similar results.

This is just simply my advice though. You could also bleed the clutch and see if that helps out. Change transmission fluid as well.

I hope this helps - let us know how everything turns out
