After Portland i figured I would not attend anything else for the year and so the Sunday before last I set out to make a list of what I would fix first. I lifted the car and pulled the rear brakes and axles to see what the issue was. The rear pinion seal was shot and spread gear oil along the underside of the car and onto the brakes. I also melted a rear sway bar bushing because my exhaust dumps just before them and while the car was in the air I figured I would pull the trans to see what the issues were on my trans. While I was there I took the clutch, pp and flywheel off and called McLeod to arrange to have it rebuilt.
In pulling the trans I check the throw out bearing and noticed it had a bit of moisture on it. I had another new replaucement F-body mast that I bought just in case and compared the two and found that they were just sligtly different and that the one that was in the car did not compress as far and was not an AP part. Proble cause of my shifting issues.
I took the RST clutch to McLeod, since they are not far from the house and put it in for a rebuild. A couple days later I have this nice new shiney part.
