Default clutch question

Hey guys, got a little technical question about the clutch.

I have a RAM clutch system with an adjustable master in my car right now. About 2.5 months ago, I blew my motor and so the car went into storage. I got the car back last week.

Right now, I cant speed-shift into 3rd or 4th gear. However, this only happens if I am redlining the car. If I shift below 6k rpm, the gear engages just fine.

Everything worked perfectly when the car went into storage 10 weeks ago. I am trying to figure out how to tackle the problem.

I am thinking about trying a new adjustable master cylinder. I had my synchros and shift forks replaced not too long ago so the tranny itself should not be the problem.

Got any ideas for me? :confused:

Is the McLeod adjustable master better than the other ones?

Right now, I have one made by Futral Motorsports. I have noticed several shops like LG sell their own master.

All the adjusted master cylinders are based on OEM units that have been modified. I doubt there is much difference between them.
