Default Problem going into 3rd at top of 2nd.

For some reason when I'm trying to get into 3rd at the top of 2nd gear it feels like I'm hitting a wall with the shifter, not grinding or anything though.

When I let the clutch back up it doesn't come back right away but when it finally does it takes a 2nd to gain pressure back before it feels normal again.

It never does this during normal driving, just WOT.

I think it might be the master or air in system but I'd like to know you guys' input.

That would be that Restriction in the Line.. do the Drill Mod and that should solve it.

Yeah the issue at WOT seems to be lack of fluid flowing during WOT shifting... thus why ur clutch feels like that.
As far as your shifting, what kinda shifter do you have? If stock maybe try a pro 5.0 or something else.

I also have the same issue at wot in 2nd gear shifting to 3rd. I also have a B and M shifter. Some times the clutch will not come back up after it happens- I have to pull it up with the tip of my foot. Car only has 25000miles- no drag racing, stock clutch. It is very annoying and will cost me if I ever have it happen when racing. Tell me how you solve it. PM me.

Same problem here on stock clutch. I'd like to be directed towards the drill mod since the damn search button doesnt work.

thanks

I have the B&M Ripper, and I've never had a problem. I just did the T56 Swap and did all the little tweaks before installing everything..Drill Mod, Remote Bleeder, etc..

Check if your fluid is black

If the pedal is sticking and you have the drill-mod then this is evidencing a hydraulic issue...more specifically...a fluid transfer issue. You either have air in the system or the slave or master are bypassing fluid internally which is limiting the ability of the fluid to move back up line. You can try bleeding the system to see if that makes a difference. I also suggest checking the fluid...if it is dark or cloudy then it needs to be replaced. Flush it, refill it, and see if that leads to improved shifting. Let me know what you find and I will be happy to assist further. Thanks!

I am having the same problem.
Have gone through 4 OEM master cylinders, 3 clutches, and 3 slave cylinders.

Just installed a new slave yesterday and the problem is still there. I think an upgraded Tick master will be the next step.

Very strange...perhaps this is evidence of a rash of poorly functioning OE Master Cylinders. Let me know if the Tick Adjustable Master Solves your issue.

I bled the clutch a little the other day and the problem went away.

I'll keep "road testing" (lol) it and see if it comes back.
