Default Can't Shift gear when engine is runing?????please help

I have the clutchmasters stage 3 in my B18B for less than 2000 miles. I am not srue if it is from the tranny or the clutch???? When the enging is not started, I can shift gears smoothly, but once I start it, it gets very stiff and it won't shift and when I force it, it will make that noise as if I wasn't using the clutch to shift.

Your help is appreciated guys.

try bleeding your clutch or maybe adjusting some free play out of the pedal.

Like said, most likely your master cylinder or slave cylinder is going bad.....replace both.

Worst case scenario is I once had a flywheel bolt back out and it wouldn't let me shift when the car was running but it would let me shift when the car was off. It took me forever to figure out it was the flywheel bolt.

Start simple with the master and slave cylinders first.
