hey BP, yeah it doesnt feel like i am hitting the synchros or anything and Im not grinding at all, Its like im just hitting the little notch in between 1st and 3rd gear up in the shifter area. Im still thinking about trying the adjustment of the pedal as well though. It only happens at high RPM faster shifting otherwise normal shifting is fine.

Forgot to mention that I also have a SS clutch line and the restrictor removed, plus a Clutchmaster Stage 3 clutch.

I notice the exact same thing man. No grinding or anything. It just stops.

yeah it actually sucks. This is what keeps me away from the local track. Happened to me when i ran the car a while back causing me to not get into 3rd, and its just embarassing, and now its happening all the time every high 3rd gear rpm shift, but only since the SS clutch line.

Try just sitting in your car while it is parked and recreate the locking condition. Then practice avoiding it. That's how I figured out how to position my hand to avoid it.

I would only recommend the clutch pedal adjustment if you were having trouble shifting into gears and if you are confident with measuring and adjusting your free play. Not enough free play will cause your clutch to slip even though you are completely off of the pedal. You can look in your owners manual for the freeplay adjustment.
