Default Not able to powershift to 3rd and 4th...

So the car has quite a bit more power this year. Tranny is perfect, it is in the clutch obviously, what can I do to fix this? Seems like I can powershift to 2nd but 3rd and 4th are on the verge of not liking it at all... Do I need to try bleeding the clutch again, or do I need to upgrade to a better slave cylinder? The clutch has the 01/02 hydraulic throwout bearing

IMO this is where an adjustable master shows it's advantage.
You can get the pedal to the best possible so that when depressed it is releasing the clutcth. Not freepaly/wasted pedal travel.
Have you drill mod'd the line as well??

Haven't done either or yet... Was kinda hoping it would work as is. Guess I was wrong. Anyone gotta link to the drill mod? I think I just need a little nudge to give it enough pressure to work right.
