I have a centerforce dual friction with steed adjustable cable, quadrant and firewall adjuster. My problem is the car will not go into gear sometimes but it only happens when I am stopped not while going down the road. I jacked the rear end of the car up and tried adjusting the clutch both ways but no matter what I do the rear wheels will still try and turn when I put it in first with the clutch all the way to the floor. Would this be a pressure plate, flywheel, ??? The flywheel was resurfaced, new pressure plate, bearing, clutch disc, It seems to shift fine driving but If I come to a stop I have to leave it in first because if I go to neutral and let off the clutch and then press the clutch back in to go to first it doesn't want to go and i have to cut the car off then it will fall into first.

sounds like you have the adjustment on the clutch cable way to loose. you should have a minimum of 1 inch of free play at the bottom of the clutch pedal
