Give those a look and see what you find.

I have a TIC adjustable, that helped. I can now hit second with a slight grind. I cycled thru a small bottle of fluid when I bled out the clutch. The gromets get delivered tomorrow, so I will give those a shot.

Thanks

You may need a little more rod (adjustment) I know I did. I had to lengthen it several times before it was GRIND free. I had a T60/60 build on my oem MN12 and I was worried it was defective... It was ALL adjustment and a little more bleeding. The build was EXCELLENT!!

I adjusted the rod a little more this morning and it was still grinding. I installed the new grommets and got out the shop manual and adjusted the linkage per the manual. That fixed it.

Thanks for the input Bill.
