Default Bleeding Clutch after ls7 clutch ...

We just installed an ls7 clutch in an 01 trans am. It will not take gear while running at all. We've bled the clutch over and over. It has a new slave, I am thinking it needs a master cylinder. What is weird is that it came in with a slipping clutch and no hydraulic problems, all of the sudden the master seems like it has gone out.

Anyone have any guidance they would like to share?

After we bled the **** out of the hydraulic system, we pulled the transmission back out put another pp and disc and and it worked like a champ.

I did notice before we pulled it out that a third of the pp fingers were substantially lower than the other.
