I'm a ProAssumer too

Possibly need a bleed on the clutch slave?

My T56 Mag was finicky the first 5 hundred miles, the next 1K miles could have been described as notchy, after 2.5K miles it's butter. I've ran Mobil 1 from day one.

If it doesn't show signs of improvement Trans/Bell/Crank alignment?

Good guess Sieg but I think I know exactly what it is (I could be worng, but I've been there before on another project). The way the Wilwwod pedals are fabbed in allows for no actuator rod adjustment, so I'll need to figure out a way to space out the throw out just a little bit. Sucks, but needs to be done.

On the fluid, I'm gonna keep running GM synchromesh and see if the break in helps
