well it might be a hydraulic problem. i'm no mechanic.here's what happened. i did 2 passes.last run I hooked first gear good and as I tried to hit second. .I couldn't shift into it. i had to force it in.then it locked me out of 3rd. i pulled over in neutral.i came to a complete stop and then tried shifting, but my tranny wouldnt go into any gear at all.I shut the car off and i was able to go into gears with the car off.when i started the car in 1st. the cars idle drop to 300. then as i shut the car off i tried it again then the car would stall in 1st. it would shoot forward and stall. what do you guys think?

sounds like the pressure plate is sticking to the clutch, could be from the fingers on the pressure plate or it could be the fact that it got real overheated. try the easiest thing, bleed the hydraulics

I have had the same problem with mine twice and its the clutch i tried swapping the master no improvement, then tried the LS6 clutch and slave which fixed it the first time then the damn freeze plug on the back of the crank started leaking and soaked my clutch so had to redo the clutch again went with the RAM Powergrip now the throw out bearing needs to be changed
