Exclamation High RPM shifting Problem

I have a 2001 ws6, w/ tr230 making about 403rwhp and a stock rear with spec stage 3 x-pad and billet steal fly wheel. The hydrolics are still stock(no drill mod) but I was told that they would be fine.

My problem is with high RPM shifting. In the lower RPM the gears seem to slide right in but when I really "get on it", it becomes very difficult to shift. This is causing me to miss the 1-2 shift often or seriously granny shift while driving the car hard. I know that this has been complained about in the past by numerous posts that I have read. Has anyone found the cause of this problem?? Should I do the drill mod, maybe a adj master?? Maybe it's the tranny??

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, this is really starting to **** me off

i cannot believe you don't have an adjustable master cylinder with a clutch like that...

solution: GET ONE!

Hydraulics is probably the issue, air in the line , I don't think the drill mod will help, that's if your clutch sticks to the floor during a hard run and it helps your clutch grab quicker.

bleeding the system again, that would be a real pain. or try a adj master,
but the first thing i would do is get rid of lou's short throw handle and put the stock length handle back on, that longer handle will let you get into gear easier at high RPMs.
try it.

Thats about where I had to put new synchros in Mine.
I need to get a deal with some shipping company to ship trannies cheaper.
I can rebuild one in under three hours.
The rebuild kits is only 155.00 and if you dont' need assemblies and Gears thats a pretty cheap rebuild
But its about 120 bucks each way to ship from North east to Texas with UPS
I bet you are in need of a rebuild now.
