Default wont go into 3rd at WOT, cant tell if tranny issue or hydrolic issue

car is a 99 trans am with a 97k mile bone stock t56, pro 50 shifter, spec stage 3 with under 1k miles, updated (although roughly 60k old) slave, 99 master with drill mod and made adj.

car was always a little tough to get into 3rd with old clutch (spec 2) but now with the new clutch i can only get into 3rd at WOT above 6k rpms maybe 25% of the time. all other times like daily driving, WOT under 5.5k rpms, light to moderate acceleration, etc it goes right into gear.

does that sound like internal tranny or hydrolic

this is getting really frustrating

its not the hydrolic...if it were that would mean it wouldnt work at all for any gear....i would look inside the tranny to be honest...it my be a sycro....especially if its just third gear....
