Default Maybe a tranny problem??

First off, I will start by saying I am brand new to the t56. I have driven manuals in other cars but my other 2 fbodys were autos. The thing that I am not sure of is the way this car shifts. It seems that at low rpms the car shifts really well. When you get higher rpms or try to shift quickly it won't let you into gear quickly. If you shift it slower, even at high rpms, it goes in smooth. There is not any grinding. It has ground like twice with the clutch fully engaged going from 5th to 4th. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Also, If there is anything you need me to do to better shed some light or test just let me know. BTW. Guy I just bought the car from said it has a 2 year old ls7 clutch.

Default Drill Mod

Try and Google "Drill Mod Camaro"
These cars come with a restrictor in the fluid line from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder to prevent "over aggressive shifting" it talks about the identical problem you are having, and how to cure it.
