Hey guys, I figured I should probably address these problems first but I've noticed that after getting off the highway when I've been driving for a while my idle will be at like 1500rpm when I'm at a light or if I have the clutch in, starting to think maybe it's TPS but if I shut the car off and start it up again it usually solves the problem. I've also had problems with grinding going from 3rd to 4th intermittently, I think that it might be that my trans mount is screwed or an adjustment in the shifter (or at least I hope). Thanks for any help.

the clutch in hanging idle is common with modified untuned cars. the throttle follower setting need to be tweaked if it does this and all parts are good.
3-4 grind after hard pulls or just random? could be a few things. clutch hydraulics or worn trans sliders, and sycro, broken keys -
Throttle follower setting?
The 3-4 grind usually happens soon after startup and only on cold days, it didn't happen earlier on in the summer and I haven't been beating on the 3-4 shift at all. I used to have problems going from 1-2 if I brought back the shifter and it was too far to the left. Where exactly is the bleeder screw to my clutch master cylinder?

bleeder is in the bellhousing above the slave lineComment

I'll have to look for it and bleed it in the spring and see if it fixes the problem, I hope it does. How do I adjust the throttle follower? Is it the setscrew on the throttlebody?
