Tranny or clutch??? I have an 05 gto car makes 360/363 and any time I make hard pulls 4th gear won't engage. It doesn't grind, it just bounces off like it's hitting a wall. I heard it's the clutch and I should prolly just get an ls7 clutch. Would that be the right path or am I looking at it being more trans issues than anything ?

Sounds like you are having a disengagement problem with your stock clutch if you're talking about it happening after running through the first few gears. I'd address it asap as if you continue and don't already have a synchro problem you will. Start by making sure the hydraulic fluid is in good shape and full. If it is, then it may be time for a new clutch. I'd recommend upgrading to a Monster Level 1 over an LS7 as it's a better overall design from disc to pressure plate and you can combine it with an 18lb Lightweight Flywheel to free up some power to the rear wheels and allow the engine to rev faster.
