Default Trans sticking

So to make a long story short I just had a set of heads and a cam installed in my '04 GTO and am putting down somewhere around 410 rwhp or more depending on the dyno. The car acted fine for the first week but recently the trans has been acting up. Yes I have got on her hard a couple of times but nothing abusive. What is happening is the trans seems to get stuck in gear or not want to go into gear at all sometimes. This only happens after driving a little while or after I give her a little extra gas. Is this because my clutch or because of the trans? One of my buddies thinks I need to bleed the clutch and change to a DOT 4 fluid, could he be right? Any help appreciated. Thanks,


Zach

Does the pedal stick to the floor or get really soft ?

not really. It just sticks in gear, clutch is definitely not releasing. I'm going to flush the system with Motul and see what happens.

Don't want to steal the thread, but what would be the problem if pedal was sticking to floor and hydraulic fluid was black or dark brown (this is my problem)?
