Won't go into 3rd at high RPM? Took my car to the track and shifted 1-2 fine. Went to go into 3rd and would not go. Tried 4th same thing. Car is fine on the road, just not at 6500RPM at the track. Tried 2 passes and the same thing both times. Still beat my friend's new 07 GT. 
2nd and coast to the traps.

My car does almost the same thing, but the when i launch the clutch goes half way to the floor and stays there. The 1-2 shift is fine, just slightly delayed but the 2-3 is very slow and hard to get into gear. My slave was replaced when i replaced my clutch about 3k miles ago. Does anyone think the drill mod/master cylinder replacement will fix this problem?

UMI short stick on a Hurst shifter. Never had this problem before. 100 or so passes on the car. Only 3 last year & 2 this year. Looks like I'm done for the year now.

We had a same prob a while back it ended up being the springs on the clutch, and would not let the clutch fully engage. But like mentioned above id check the forks.
