Default Help with T56!

I'm having a problem shifting from 1-2,2-3 at WOT. It won't go into gear hardly at all and then grinds when it does, but it drives perfect at normal driving. I just bought the car(98' Formula) the guy said he put an ls7 clutch in. I've been trying to find a solution but I've seen people say synchros, M/C, pressure plates, etc. Anybody have this problem and solve it? I need to find the answer? Sux not being able to run it out!

tick master cyclinder perhaps? If I understand whats going on properly, there is so much centrifical force built up at high RPM that the factory hydraulics have a difficult time building up enough force to get the pressure plate back off of the cluth and you cannot shift until the RPMs come back down. Had a similar issue with my Camaro. Installed an ls7 clutch kit with tick master and the problem went away.

Check your clutch fluid first. If it's dirty, change it. If that doesn't do it look into an adjustable M/C. I'm experiencing the same thing and will be installing a new slave this weekend hopefully.
