Nature of the beast. I've got a 3250 and the upgraded hydros. Had the spacer in and out, made several different pushrods, varying in length in 1/8'' increments. Still notchy. Talked to Peter and even his personal '03 with the same clutch exhibits similar characteristics. I just live with it. My tranny supposedly has only about 100k on it, and only about 10k with a fresh fluid swap when I did the clutch. It holds like a mother, and that's what I wanted, so I'm content. Besides, a 4th gear roll from 35 is good to over 100, so who needs to shift anyway? LOL
