Here's my problem.

If i fun the car at WOT say from 1st to 2nd once i get past 4500rpms in 1st the shifter gets stuck and won't come out of gear to shift into 2nd until the rpms drop I just changed the tranny fluid today but it still does it. Also if i go from reverse to 1st i have to use all my strentgh to push it in gear. It does it a lot if i'm not moving and i try to put the car in any gear it's almost impossible to get it ito go in gear. Downshifting isn't that bad but from gear to gear it's getting harder to shift.

Also, after the clutch was put in it all of a sudden started kicking the car out of gear when i put it in reverse. Lately it's been doing it almost everytime i force it into reverse. the shifter will go in, then ill be rolling backwards then BAM it pops out of gear. this is very annoting and i have no clue what it is doing... what would cause it to pop out of gear and why would it get stuck in 1st after 4500rpms?

any info will help

No, our cars have a cable actuated clutch. slave cylinders are used on cars with a hydraulic clutch

Negative. It's a cable-operated clutch.

Your problem sounds like the clutch is not disengaging fully. You need to adjust the cable. Grab the clutch pedal with your hand and pull it up hard. Then push it to the floor with your foot. if you hear a click, it's made an adjustment. If not, you may need to look into a firewall adjuster

Yes this all started after the new clutch was put in

I have the steeda double hook adjuster, the adj. quadrant and cable. These problems occurred after the clutch was put in but they got worse when i adjusted the clutch in. so i adjusted the clutch back out to stock specs and it was halfway ok but after like 1 day they started happeneing again

No matter how i adjust this thing it happens. Is my tranny crap?

If you have tried adjusting the cable (adjustible cable I had a big problem with and went back to stock) then you could have a bent shift fork (hard to get into gear) or bad syncros (pops out of gear).
