Default Can't change gears

whenever i get up to and around 5000rpm the cluctch goes to the floor and theres no pressure to switch gears.

If kept at low rpms its easy to change and functions properly. But for those times for race mode i have no pressure

Check your clutch fluid.

clutch fluid is always full, but i think there is a slight leak somewhere that is putting air into the lines....

Yeah, well high rpm's in general the higher you go the worse it gets. Is it possible that once I go into higher rpms, more pressure is required which sucks air into the line.....because im thinkn there is a small leak

RPM has zero null nada completely no effect on the hydraulic lines and cylinders in your clutch system.

It is harder to get a trans to shift at high rpm if the clutch isn't completely disengaging, that is probably what you feel.

Find that leak, it is most likely the master cylinder, replace it, then bleed the thing well.

Yeah I mean if i could actually get into gear in higher rpm's it would definetly grind, do u think there is two problems being with a leak and a slave cylinder.

I know i had my master cylinder replaced about a 1 1/2 ago and there shouldn't be a problem there. I am going to check on it tonight

go ahead and bleed the system first just to verify you don't have an air pocket in the system.

i bled the system out and still a problem, so i know there is a leak somewhere. Since there is the leak, a pocket of air keeps on placing itself somewhere in the line, i can't find any leaks....

most ppl replace the clutch master cylinder (different from your brake master cylinder) and slave cylinder in pairs.
