Default hard to shift at high rpms?

so i got a brand new tranny and a centerforce stage 2 clutch installed about two months ago i also replaced the clutch cable, quadrent and got a firewall adjuster. Everthing runs smoothly but when i shift at about 6000
its hard to put into gear ill have to stop wait half a second and then it will go in. Any reasoning for this? normal? on the stock clutch and old tranny it didnt have this problem.

You didnt have a problem because it was a used clutch and tranny... You shouldnt be shifting a brand new transmission at 6k RPMS any time before 1000 miles.

I personally wouldnt even get it above 4500RPM within 5000 miles.

isnt it harder to shift when you have a super heavy clutch anyhow?

No, it should slide into gear easily.

ive put 2200 miles on it since i got it done, i started driving hard on it when it had 1500 Also it fully disengages at regular driving so i dont see why that would be an issue at higher rpms

Check that throwout bearing. It may have been defective or installed wrong.
