Default T56 hates speed shifting

Say that i take off in a easy manner in 1st gear. Then at 3,000 rpms i mash it and wrap out first gear and shift very fast into second. After doing that I loose pressure in my clutch petal and it grinds because the clutch isnt fully disengaging. I have a new slave, help pls

Check your clutch fluid, if it's black it needs changing. I'd look into a Tick master cylinder if you like shifting fast and at high RPM.

Have ya done the old 'orifice drill' trick yet?
If not, Search & 'research'.
In the early years of the late-4th-gen cars, this issue was quite popular.

Not saying that's the problem, but it may help.

A good read here: http://www.tick-performance.com/imag...kshiftfaq.html

Our Adjustable Master Cylinder Kit has been enabling these cars to shift MUCH more quickly and efficiently for years. Here it is: http://www.tickperformance.com/tick-...or-ls1-f-body/
