hard to shift in/out of rev.
I just put my motor back in the 96 miata after doing a new clutch. I changed the tranni fluid (filled a little over 2 quarts) and changed the shifter fluid. It is kinda hard going into reverse now and even harder to get it out.
I'm thinking maybe the clutch is still slightly engaged, but it even is rough when the car is off and the clutch is in.
Clutch is ACT HDSS... and it drives so nice
Thanks!!

I had this same problem after my ACT install, not quite as bad as you are describing. I had to adjust the clutch master push rod (lengthen it) to get proper disengagement. After that it shifted like butter.

adjusted the shifter so it grabs right at the top... still wont shift nice. (I re-adjusted it back to norm).
I also re-bled the clutch.. no fix.
It's very driveable, but frustrating because its not as smooth as it used to be.

its definetly not the "stuck in reverse" problem on miata.net. It doesnt get stuck or "loose its spot" or anything. its just rough getting in and out of rev.
maybe ill try to get a new slave

Sounds like the slave. I had similar problems and replaced my slave and it was good to go. Although last time I drove the car I do recall reverse acting a fool and ****.
