problems shifting from 2nd to 3rd I just installed a spec stage 2 clutch with a fidanza aluminum flywheel in my 2000 Trans Am. I used the shim provided and upgraded the master and slave. I did a 550 mile breakin with at least 400 of those miles being city miles. I am having problems shifting at hight rpms. I can shift from 1st to 2nd but when i try to shift to 3rd it is like it hits a wall, it just wont go in. Under normal conditions, it goes in. I did some research and i was thinking that maybe the drill mod would help but i thought that was done to cure the problem of the clutch pedal sticking to the floor at higher rpms. My clutch pedal hasnt stuck to the floor. I know 3rd gear can be hard to find but this feeling is different. The clutch pedal pressure is pretty firm and the engagment is about like stock now, so i thought the hydraulics were bleed good. I was going to try to bleed it again and see if that helps. Will the drill mod help? Any suggestions would be helpful.
