Good thing i woke up with the thought to put the reset at bar 2… the sync is now perfect haha 
funny how that happens sometimes…
Here I have a track, “BRIDGECLOCK”, that is sending data to CC0 and CC1 in Core - MIDI CC in Rack. CC0, “CLOCK” is a tempo synced. square- wave LFO parameter modulation, which, for me, provides the simplest, best sync out of all the methods that i have tried.
CC1, “Reset”, is what was causing the issues. For some reason, placing the automation item 1 bar later has solved the issue of the clock stuttering and going out of sync after sending the trigger to the reset of my sequencer.
I hope this helps others who are having sync issues.
