How hard is it for you guys to shift at high MPH

I just replaced my clutch and it is sort of hard to shift at high mph like into 3rd going say 70 or 80 is this normal. I did have the flywheel cut but didn't put in shims to offset the cut do I need to put in shims or do I need to bleed the clutch. I didn't bleed the clutch

You dont need to do anything. The slave cylinder is completely self contained, you should never have to touch it unless its bad. Getting the flywheel cut im guessing you mean resurfaced, which unless its been done a lot before they only take about .04 off the surface so thats not the problem, they say if its been done 3 or more times you might want a new one. Dont know what to tell ya, might just still be breaking in.

When i replaced my old clutch with a STAR SPEC stage III carbon clutch it was hard as hell goign into third at High rpms. Eventually when i forced it into third at high rpms i blew it to pieces... literally.

Went with an LT4 clutch and its ok...

Well how long do you have to break in the clutch and are you not supose to race it right after you put it in?

To double clutch, you put the clutch in, put the shifter in neutral, let the clutch out, put the clutch back in and shift to whatever gear you're going to, let the clutch back out. Won't win many races that way, but essential to driving a semi.
