James, out of curiousity, did you check the bellhousing centerline alignment?

XcTZ,

The downshifting issue is very likely related to the clutch release issue. The clutch is not releasing cleanly. Once James get's the hydraulic bearing issue corrected, then he will next need to determine if the twin disk floater is moving cleanly and releasing the clutch.

Here's the "pushing sales" pitch, so brace yourself. Our hydraulic kits are a far more advanced and better design and we don't have these sorts of problems. Years ago before we discontinued the product in 2003, we sold many hundreds of the McLeod hydraulic product and the Street Twin clutch. We worked through these problems first hand, issued recall notices, issue repair/upgrade parts, issued replacement notices for the entire bearing.

In all fairness, my original post from yesterday fell short of conveying the proper level of information.
