Hard shifting t56
Hard shifting t56 99 camaro with Tick master and fluid is clean and bled well
while shifting as u pass through neutral there’s a tight spot as u start to go into the next gear. Also, with rear jacked up when u push it into the “tight spot” the rear tires will make half rotation or so but once in gear u can even rev it and tires will not spin. 6th gear from 60 the clutch does not slip and has never slipped for me. This has been an issue when trying to shift fast or at higher rpm as most times will force a money shift.
trans issue or issue with clutch somehow?

Bleed it again. Does it have a speed bleeder? I've found that sticking the opened speed bleeder into some fresh fluid in a bottle ( clear, so you can watch for bubbles and when it's getting full ) while someone pours fluid in from the top is the fastest way to do it. If not that, then I'd bet your master is leaking. Those Tilton masters leak brand new. I had less than 1000 miles on mine when I had to replace it.

Mine was leaking down the inside of the firewall, from under the boot. How much vacuum did you pull when you bled it? It's possible to screw up a seal if you go above 15 in.

If its not a shim related issue, do manual bleed. Air is compressable and fluid isnt so if you have entrapped air you'll get erratic pedal behavior.
If you had a leak even if there wasnt fluid puddles showing up under the car ventually you would need to add fluid.
