try flushing the fluid then hitting it with a mityvac. Same thing happens to mine when the fluid breaks down. I get around 6 months worth before it gets to this.

Sounds like a hydraulic problem . Could try doing the drill mod on the master, if that fails could be the slave
Cylinder.

I was having the same problem, but mine was with 3rd and 4th gear. My slave cyl was shot. I replaced it along with the clutch, LS7/LS2, and no more shifting problesm. This is the first time since I've owned the car(2+ years) I've been able to full on race without having some sort of shifting issue
