Default Having a hard time shifting after spec twin disc clutch install "sc66pt"

I installed a spec twin disc clutch from spec (sc66pt) on my 2010 camaro ss this weekend and after the it was installed it is VERY hard to put in any gear and reverse is nearly impossible. The spline lined up good no real problem installing it, the hurst shifter did have alot of "slop" but it was never an issue to put into gear. i have new bushing in oder for it but im very confused on to what is really the problem. The thing that really throws my off is it goes into gear somewhat easy while the car is off but revearse is still very hard. Please help me resolve this problem.

Moiy, we include a shim and a measurement sheet with instructions for determining whether you need it. Let me know what your measurements were and whether or not you installed the shim. This will help with trouble-shooting. Thanks!

Make sure that you also check the torque applied to the plate to flywheel and flywheel to crank bolts and insure that you have the disc oriented properly as this will affect function. The discs are marked for proper orientation. Let me know what you find. Thanks!

This is a stupid question but does the floater plate have a directional side?
Sorry I just want to be sure when I take it apart to know exactly what im looking for. I also would like to know if I need to have more shims for the slave cylinder Like the measurement for "A" & "B". Thanks !
