Flipflop is unstable

For some reason, using a classic 74HC74 isn't fast enough even if it's rated for more than 20mhz if I remember correctly. I had a delay of about 1 clock @ 6Mhz with it :o

The clock period is completely irrelevant. All that matters is the transition time. That is the "dt" I mentioned above.
Do the arithmetic.

This is one case where a synchronous divider can help. With your original ripple divider you have two clk-q delays in series. A synchronous divider will have just one clk-q delay.
