Notchy 6speed after southbend install??

hey I installed a southbend bend clutch about 3000 miles ago its the 4 paddle DF 400hp/800 ft.lbs after the installation shifting is very notchy doesnt like to go into gear,when it shifted very smoothy before. and also when starting in 1st not low,the whole truck starts to hop lots of axle rap,unless you slip it from about 2000 rpm or if you just pop the clutch at lower than 2000rpm any ideas or suggestions?

sounds like you need to bleed the slave cylinder.

Thanks for the reply,I thought these newer slave cylinders were self bleeding? it doesnt have a bleed screw like the zf-5 i used to have,is there a different way to do it on the newer ones?

It will be alot easier if you just go and buy a new one, they come pre-bled. No bleeding just put it in and done.
