Default when drivin hard i cant get into 3rd?!

i just got my transmission rebulit under warrranty and everything was fine when i got it out if i was gettin on it or racing i could easily chirp third no problem but i have noticed lately when ever i got to "power shift" it from 2nd to 3rd it will not go, it will like just not go in wait a second, and its fine it goes right in. now if im regularly driving everything is fine it shifts like a charm and if im "granny shifty" while racing its fine but only when i really go to throw it in gear will it not go. i bleed it and it still no luck, no occassionally it will go into gear when ever i get on it and try and throw it in but 70% of the time it wont,


btw i have an ls2/ls7 flywheel/clutch setup.



please help me here is this a hydraulic problem? or is it the trannys fault, i updated the slave about 3 months ago so i dont think that is the problem here, any input would be great, thanks!

I have the same clutch setup as you, and mine has JUSt started to do this same thing. I have basically chased it back to the hydraulics. My clutch fluid was dirty, and in my case, it was my master cylinder going bad. I have bought a McLeod adj, but waiting for it in the mail. The car is still driveable, just wont last under hard WOT. I will let you know my results. Also, props on the blackbird stripes, I like mine as well. I think it really makes the car.
