Paul, it sounds like you did not have enough freeplay between the throwout bearing and levers. It gets worse when the clutch wears because the levers come up higher. Of course they come up as the rpm comes up. It acts like you are riding the clutch.

The QTs are approx. .200 more shallow then the lakewoods. It is important to use an adjustable pivot ball and the correct throwout bearing and fork. There is a blocksaver you can getmthat is thicker than the one that comes with the QT that can help also. E mail or call me. Jim
