help!! clutch pedal & syncro

today i just changed clutch kit(stage3) and mission oil redline mt90 and diff oil redline 75-90 and brakepad.

after that shifting is more softer but it is still graining 1st gear to 2nd.

i heard that clutch pedal sould be hard to press when i change aftermarket clutch but it is too softer than before.
is this right situation?

i have a problem with clutch pedal which is little broken. first time padal just made some sound after 5month some thing was broken. now i can change the gear but it doesn't come out fully, just half.

i am thinking that Fluid Moters' sycrosaver & clutch pedal bracket or other reinforcement padal.
can i use my clutch padal with that Fluid moters' bracket or do i have to welding or other reinforcement padal?

what is the problem that graining 1st to 2nd?(this one since one year before)
sometimes 2nd gear just pull out from gear by him self at 14 MPH row RPM

Chances are you will need to adjust your clutch pedal's engagement point with the new clutch. You may not be completly disengaging the clutch.

If your pedal is broken or close to breaking it would be best (and cheaper) to have it tig welded by someone. The issue is a lateral movement not a side to side movement.

why would you want stage 3 clutch anyway? it wont make your car go any faster.

I use Mt90 too and so far no issues

if ur gear just "pop" out , I guess ur tranny is no good in the first place

it could be an improper install tho.

mt90 is a popular fluid... not an unpopular fluid afaik. i use it to. great stuff.

you should take the clutch assembly off the car. inspect it. if it has any rips in the metal or any of the welds have come apart, then you need to take it to a machine shop and have it re-welded and fixed. then you should definitely get the fluid motorsports bracket.

i will do the welding for pedal. do i need fluid motor's bracket? is nessesury?
and will sncro saver help to avoid graining?
and what should i do if 2nd gear will be graining after fixed pedal?
maybe 2nd gear snycro problem? i think it's expensive to fix
