Over time (2-4 yrs) I started having more and more trouble shifting from 2nd to 3rd in Solo II events. Sure enough when I had the tranny inspected that syncro cone was a mess. I swapped my entire tranny out for another used one and then reset the stop much closer to the floor.

Over that long period of time the little bit the throwout bearing was not totally disengaging the clutch caused this wear on the cone.

So be conservative with the setup! And I loved the Clutch Stop as well

YMMV,
HAZMAT
I will take this for consideration and remove one of the shim. I don't want to grind my gears.
