Default serious T56 clutch problems

OK so one day I'm driving my 2000 Z28 down the road and its hard to get into gear. Slowly over time it became worse and now it won't go into gear at all. I bleed the system with a mityvac by putting the nozzle in the hole at the bottom of the clutch master cylinder ran the hose to the bottle and then hooked the bottle up to the cup. I pumped it up to 10 and pumped the clutch a little, lots of air came out and it cleared up the problem. I went around the block and bam, hard to shift again and the pedal is light with a lot of dead space. But if I "dribbled" the pedal in the dead space it seemed to fill up the hydrolics and it would shift a little better. So I parked it, over the next few hours install new master cylinder and bleed it. Still won't go into gear...

What the Hecks going on here? I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Actually after reading the plate on the tranny it says TR60-60. What does that mean for me?

so it sounds like you don't know the provinence of your car. It came with a T56 not a TR6060. If it does, it fact, have a TR6060, you need to find out who ndid what when , and how much.
Sorry but this is not enough info.

I put it in, when I did a auto-standard conversion. I took it out of a sonar Camaro. Same exact car.

So the donor was a 98-02 camaro? Did you loctite the pressure plate bolts when doing the install? Sounds like the bolts could have backed off causing the disengagement issue if not hydraulics, hope that helps.
