i put in a new shortblock 2 weeks ago and a new clutch and flywheel, cause the old one didnt look to good, but it was sunday and the only place open was napa, so i figured i try it out and see how long it lasted,lol, i dont think very long

it ran fine, until the last few days, it's pretty tough to shift through the gears and to get it in gear, i gotta push the shifter really hard and while pushing the cluth pedal to the floor,

is the clutch the shot?? or tranny problem, is there any way to adjust the clutch, i just put it in, with a new flywhell and drove

302 shortblock, gt-40 iron heads, 1.7 rockers, 3.55's, edelbrock intake, 70mml throttle body, trickflow cam-like an e cam from ford, full exhaust, 24# injectors,
