Question Can't shift sometimes

I have a 88 Tll with ACT exterem clutch and Racing Beat sport and strip disc. I dont know y i cant shift sometimes. I had adjust the clutch on the clutch pedal, it seem to get better for a while and it will get worst later on. Sometimes when i power shifting, it is hard to get in gear. the clutch pedal is pretty low. Does anyone know what the problem is? Do you think is the clutch hydraulic?

I have personally had this problem twice and froreading various posts, its the pilot bearing or throwout bearing problem. In my case it was the pilot.

Your pedal is low cause the clutch is almost new. But other than that, do you have any pedal problems, like weak pedal or it sticking to the floor? If it is just an intermittent problem, it could be the pilot. I've had instances when it was hard to engage gears. I would kill the engine and start it in gear again to free it up and it would behave like nothing had happened for a while till it happened again.
*but* conventional wisdom dictates that you look at the easy stuff first so i wold look at the slave just to make sure.

I think is your hydralick system, it probably has air in the lines. It is not easy to bleed the system but it could b e your problem.
