Clutch pedal mods

Ok, So I have tried the modified z-bar. Like I was pushing on a brick and to find out that I had the wrong bellhousing ball stud which was pushing the fork sideways instead of straight. Got the correct bracket, another stock Z-bar and it shifted smoother. I still have a issue going into 2nd. I get a pedal, lengthen it to 6", and it is hard to push on the pedal and it is close to the floor, but a bit easier to shift into second without it grinding. (brand new Passion trans) No matter what I have tried it is jerky in second. No smooth transition, at any RPM. it just bucks into it. 2-3 shift is smooth and 3-4 is butter. Am I missing something on adjustments or does everything need to break in some? Only 135 miles on motor/trans/rear. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
