I bled the clutch (fluid wasn't that dirty), adjusted the clutch, and threw in the longer rod again. The petal releases very early but seems fine. The tranny doesn't seem to like 4th gear though. Seems as if the synchro is on its way. It is not half as annoying as 2nd gear was. The car seems to be making a new rattling noise. Maybe something with the TOB. The noise seems to happen while and after a slow turn alot.

While tuning, I ran into a couple of more problems. After a hard pul through a couple of gears, it spits out a lot of blue smoke after I let off. It doesn't smoke at all while in the gear or shifting. Just when I get off it. The car has a new HG and valve seals so they shouldn't be a issue as I was only at ~20psi. While in between runs, my radiator fan decided to take a shit on itself and the car overheated. This happened on the freeway somehow... The coolant was boiling and was forced out the overflow bottle. The car was making a sound similar to what it was when I broke my crank pulley before... I will not make it to the track tomorrow.
