Default Trans wont shift into 3rd at the track...

When at the track i put the car in 3rd and race, when im at the top of 2nd it will bounce off the limiter and i gotta take my foot out of the gas and get back in it for it to shift, however if i put it in D it will shift into 3rd but also shifts into 4th at the end of the track (i have 4.10's) My speedo is a bit off but i have a friend with my exact setup and his is not doing this. On the street i never have a problem like this, it only happend at the track and it happened every time it was in 3rd instead of D. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I have seen folks post this before.

In LS1 Edit you change the shift points by increasing or lowering the mph, so I'm not sure if your uncalibrated gears are the issue here.

My car did the exact same thing untill my 3rd and 4th clutches went out. I never did find out why it wasnt shifting out of second,but pretty soon it wouldnt shift out of third either,and about a week later it all went
