Default Spec 2+ not shifting at high RPMs

You can read about my install and first impressions and full set-up here

https://ls1tech.com/forums/manual-transmission/703978-spec-2-first-impressions-issues.html

Quick run down is Spec 2+, turned LS6 flywheel, 02 Hydralics(1000 miles on them), fresh tranny rebuild

Now the transmission is not wanting to shift at high RPMs.

The transmission is SILKY smooth with the car not running(fresh build) or even while stopped now. Once you start moving the clutch is a little notchy, but not too bad.

Once the rpms start to increase and you try to shift with ANY speed it is like it hits a WALL and you must keep pushing and it will finally go into the next gear. It is like it goes TO the gear, stops, then goes into it. I have a bad feeling that it is not releasing all the way still, but not sure. Any other ideas?

Thanks

Mine did the same thing, then I put a spec billet steel flywheel in it, and it made it alot better. Still not perfect tho. I still grind going into 3rd and 4th. Pretty sure is my 3-4 slider tho....

drill mod - fast shifting
wrap/insulate your line - prevents clutch fluid from boiling.
bleed at least 1 complete bottle weather you think that it needs it or not.

notchy - what kind of oil is in the trans?

Alot of t56's have problems with the clutch lines expanding over time. It may not be much but its still enough that when the clutch pedal is pressed the lines expand so full pressure isn't used to release the clutch. The clutch may not fully disengage because of this. I haven't got to it yet but i'm planning on swapping my stock lines with braided stainless steel lines to help it out. A buddy of mine did it to his lt1 T/A and he said it was like driving with a brand new clutch and tranny. You should be able to pick up the lines for it for under a hundred bucks.

Good luck on it.
