Sounds like it is not fully disengauging.

wow... thats stupid as hell... but i hope you learned from it.

anyway, i have a d16z6. when i put in a 11.9lb flywheel and a 6puck unsprung clutch my trans did the same. i believe that since the pressure plate is stronger, the faster you spin it.. the less the shift fork wants to hold it disengaged... so its kinda like the higher in the rpm you go the clutch is slowly trying to grab hold and engage.. which causes a harder shift..

i was in reverse and had the clutch 90% of the way in, then i revved my motor (not moving) just to hear something i thought was rattling when i noticed the car trying to move a little as if i was letting off the clutch. so that right there proved it to me..

the only way to fix this is to learn how to double clutch and rev match.. find the points where its easiest to shift (in high rpm that is) and try to match that with the double clutching technique. works perfect for me no more miss-shifts
