Default GTO shifting Problems

Me and my friend put a Spec 2+ clutch, Spec billet flywheel, new master cyl and and a new f-body slave in his 04 gto. The car will shift normal under normal throttle but when you go wot it has no clutch pedal. The pedal will go soft and will grind the shift or not go in at all. Then the pedal has to be pumped to get it to work again. The pedal isn't sticking to the floor but it gets very light. We've bleed it about a thousand times and nothing has change. Anybody have a clue wtf is going on?

I have also seen/ heard of clutch slippage causing this problem as well.
Stick it in 5/6th at low speed (30's) & punch it & make sure the clutch holds.

i am having this problem too! i just bought a new slave (havent installed it yet though). but my clutch isnt slipping i dont believe? i put the car in first and let the clutch out with the e-brake on and my rpms didnt really move(kinda droped) and if the did start to rise isnt that an indication of slippage.

^^^do what wrencher said, stick in 5th at like 35 MPH and hammer it, that'll tell you if you are slipping.
