Default Clutch installed, having problems!

The car is a 96 LT1 w/ T56.

When the car is running I press the clutch in and attempt to put it in gear, the car will creep forward and not allow me to put it fully in gear. Could this be a problem with the slave cylinder?

Thanks

Sounds like its out of adjustment...its been a while since I worked on an LT1 clutch.

This afternoon I think I will try pulling the slave out and bleeding it, thats the last thing I can think of trying without pulling the whole thing apart.

I took the Slave back out and pumped it a few times, it pulled all the fluid out of the master cylinder. Do I need to put more fluid in? Once the slave was bolted back up the resevoir had the correct amount of fluid.
