Have you checked/replaced the shifter bushing and linkage yet?

You might be binding up trying to get it into gear.

Yea I have to go a diffrent way. I'm going to have to replace more things. Still binding but it was fine last night after I ajusted the peddle. So I think ill grease the shifter and replace said bushings

Ok I did mess with the ajust ments and its still hard to shift but then it will want to go back to shifting hard and grinding I replaced everything but the hose. Ill put that on tomorrow but I put grease where the shifter is under the boot. But I need some guidance.

Take it to a garage and have them adjust the clutch pedal free-play and slave throw (from the pedal location)

Blue your my boy LOL. I ran the ajustments to where they are supposed to be and no. dice just a interment thing if I put the master where its Suppose to be can't shift and the peddle ill get some slip. I'm wondering if I should do a clutch and get the ajust done. I have 67xxx original miles on the devil.

It seems like the throw on the slave is not enough. You should be able to have a friend press the clutch pedal and you can watch it move by simply looking down through the engine compartment next to the battery. I think the throw on my 77 280z was ~ 35mm of movement (~1.4").Check this then report back to the post.
