Difficult to engage first & reverse gear only when car is running
It is easy to shift into all gears when the car is turned off but it is hard to shift especially into first and reverse gear when the car is running.
What could be wrong? The clutch line has been bled.
this happened after putting in a new clutch btw

Check Throw-out-bearing and TOB retainer sleeve.
Sometimes the TOB will not allow the clutch to fully dis-engage due to a bad bearing, cracked sleeve or both. This results in your "hard to shift" issue.
I got this same thing when I put a new Centerforce DFX in my cobra. TOB and sleeve was bad. TOB sits on sleeve.

I don't think so, it doesn't make sense for that to happen does it? Why make a clutch that doesn't shift right?
and tuners such as Autech use it so I think it might have something to do with the installation.

I really hope you get this worked out brother. Your first reviews were so good, then all these problems? How streetable is it in its present form? Are you going to reinstall it w/ new oem parts that might have been damaged during the install? Man, I hope this gets fixed for you so you can enjoy it!

oops i meant AMUSE uses the ORC hehe.
Not too sure, will let you know after i contact Z Car Garage tomorrow. Signs point to improper clutch alignment / improper installation of the release (throw out) bearing.
btw would you do me a favor, the next time you drive your car
drive it a little(a few feet would be enough) and try to shift through the gears. Is the shifting effort higher than shifting through the gears when the car is turned off?

I wonder how much of the issues you are having are due to the improper installation/defective oem parts and on the other hand due to the natural characteristics of the orc 409 super single clutch w/ all 3 options?. Not much out there in English on these...
