Default Level 2 tranny grinds

Last year I busted 3rd at the track. I pulled the trans and sent it toTick to get rebuilt. I had it rebuilt with level 2 package. Now its got about 2k miles on it and it still grinds. Its been grinding since day one. It take about 20 mins of driving to be able to shift like normal and even then I get alot of clash of really notch shifts. I can't speed shift it or it will grind. 4th gives me the most issues. My clutch/hydro are up to snuff and bled. Its driving me nuts The weird part is, it down shifts just fine, but upshifts are a pita. I don't kno what to do and this is my DD so I can't afford to have my car down.

Its hard to say for sure . Does the unit go right into gear when applying 1st or reverse ? What kind of fluid are you using ? What shape is the pilot bearing in ?

Thanks for speaking with me on the phone. I think I'm gonna try out your Master cylinder and see if that takes care of it.
