Crappy shifter feel after clutch replacement.

So, I just had my clutch replaced with the ACT 6-puck, MAP flywheel, Sheptrans diff pins, and AMS cmc ring. The shifter feels really crappy and it is difficult to find 3rd gear. First and 2nd gear are fine but past that, they feel really stiff. The fluid combo was recommended by Shepherd, MT-90 and Shockproof ( I think). I have driven about 30 miles or so on the new setup, and thought maybe the fluids would disperse and it might get smoother. Can any one offer any suggestions?

The clutch feels fine. How will adjusting the pedal change the shifter?

Hate to sound like I'm hoping on the bandwagon but try Amsoil.

I've been running it for about a year now and it's def worth the $50ish bucks.

Only 30 miles? give it some time. At least 100 miles. It'll probably break in a bit by then

Well I just lost 1st and 2nd gears. I have to take off in 3rd. I think there might be an issue with the shifter forks( probably why it felt like crap).

Well it turned out to be the shift linkages. The brakes got bent when lifting the tranny back in after the cluth install. Shifts like a dream now.

Those little devils sure are sensitive. Good to hear it's fixed.
