Default Adj master keeps needing adjustment

Combo:
Fidenza 4.3 clutch
Stock flywheel
Newer design slave (less than 1 year old)
Tilton master (same as tick setup)

I've got almost 3 years out of is clutch so I can't complain but when I pulled it apart last year to replace a bad slave, e clutch looked very good. I seem to have to keep adjusting my pedal out to keep the trans from grinding on spirited driving.

What should I be looking for?

Default Question

I had the trans rebuilt in my 02 Z06 and I put all new LS7 clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, and throw out bearing in and it doesn't seem to shift like I think it should. It still doesn't want to go into gear easily when your pushing it. I blead the clutch putting it in and a second time after putting a few miles on the car. I wanted to check and see how you adjusted the clutch pedal? I was told that there isn't any adjustment. I appreciate any info.

Check the slave cylinder for leaks if you have not done so, slight leakage may not be seen from the exterior of the bell housing, you'll have to drop the inspection cover. I also recommend you bleed the hydraulic system from the bleed screw on the slave.

A dragging or bad pilot bearing can also cause grinding.
