Default Clutch quadrant/adjuster question

Embarrassed myself missing 2nd gear at the track (TWICE!) which I'd never done before. What I'm feeling in my shifts sound like the symptoms some of y'all have solved with a new clutch quadrant and firewall adjuster while preferring to stick with the stock cable. Just wondering what the consensus is on the very best brand to buy for both the quadrant and adjuster. Thanks a bunch.

Today was the first time I'd ever even heard of Fiore, only knew of Steeda, UPR, and MM. Couple guys on M1R mentioned their approval for Fiore as well so I guess you helped me make a sound decision. Much appreciated!!!

When is the last time you adjusted your factory one? The instructions to do this are in your owners manual. They are to be preformed every 5,000 miles. When my quadrant breaks then I will replace it with a aftermarket setup.

Fiore kit is the way to go. I installed mine 2 years ago and have had zero problems missing gears since.

Great point Shaken. On pg. 9 of the Scheduled Maintanence Guide. Was doing it wrong and w/o the shifter in 1st gear so I'll do the correct way now. Question for you...it says to pull the clutch up gently then press down slowly and listen for the "click" sound but doesn't say to do it once or many times. Well...once or many times???? Hope it makes a difference as it really is feeling funky as hell to shift. Thx man, I don't know jack poop about clutches and wanna fix the problem before I rip up another 2 syncros.
