I have question for the group. I had the engine replaced at 6000 miles because the super charger locked up. When the pulled the supper charge off metal shaving was all through the intake. This is why I got a new engine and SC. Since the engine change now when I shift at higher RPM's it will grind the gears. So I have to wait a second or two for the engine rpm to come down. I took it back and they replaced the clutch. I still have the same problem. Wondering if they didn't bleed the system enough. It pulls hard in every gear and I don't feel any slippage. I am looking at adding a Hurst line lock and new Powder coated calibers this winter. Would be changing brake fluid also. If my memory is correct the clutch runs of the brake hydraulic system also. I am getting old. Would it be better do split the reservoir? If so what brand and how hard to complete? Suggestion please.

Use Motul 600 RBF. It has a higher fluid boiling rate which will help with brake fade.

We would recommend doing a thorough fluid bleed. There's a chance it may solve the problem itself, without requiring you to buy new parts.

most likely not bleed out good enough.
put a remote bleeder on it.
