Im having aproblem dont know what it is so ill try and explain as best as possible. I rebuild transmission about 5000 miles ago by T56 rebuilds,new spec 3 clutch,slave cylinder,ram adjustable master cylinder, i also did the drill mod but im not sure i did it right.The problem, My transmission shifts very hard into every gear, when i bleed it works ok but only lasts about aday of use then gets hard again.Do i need a new line? Also i check under the car and im not leaking any fluid.,

Sounds like the master is bleeding down. If it gets better from bleeding and then gets worse that is a sign of a hydraulic issue. Did you do the drill mod? If it gets better with bleeding you can rule out a transmission issue. Looks like something is going on with the hydraulics.

Joe said it is possible you drilled into the line. Sorry I didn't read that before. If you are not very careful you can drill into the line. That would cause it to bleed down in a day or so also causing a very tiny leak that you might now notice unless driving. You can also cause issues with the transmission if you don't fix the hydraulic problem. We had the same problem with our new 2000 SS. It ended up being a master cylinder problem. Once we fixed it the transmission drove fine. The transmission had about 400 miles on it so we knew it had to be related to something else.

So do i need a new master cylinder or a new line? im thinking of upgrading to a mcloud master but do i also need a new line? Is there an after market line with the drill mod?

Thunder racing I think will do a drill mod for a clutch master cylinder for an additional cost if you buy a master cylinder from them. not sure if it has to be Mcleod specifically but may be worth a try.
