clutch sounds like it’s out of adjustment but honestly I didn’t have good experiences with spec clutches. I bought a brand new one that was toasted less than 1k miles later, and I know how to drive so just take that for what it’s worth.
What clutch would you recommend on buying because this crappy spec the previous owner installed.

I personally love the McLeod rxt I’m on my second one right now. Great drivability and handles a lot of power
Ok thanks if

You uncovered the gremlin! Thanks for posting an update revealing what the problem was/is. In due time you'll be experiencing smoother shifting. ;)

Time for a 26 spline upgrade while you’re at it. Sucks it’s such a “big” problem rather a simple linkage or clutch issue.
