Engaging without pedal.... Installed new clutch.
Buttoned everything up.
Used my old slave (with 11K miles, updated version...will probably be replacing).
Bled system.
Pedal all the way down, put in 1st gear, and without releasing the pedal, the tires will start to spin.
Put it back in neutral, release pedal, move shifter towards first gear....and they start to spin there as well.
Is this a slave issue (current one got covered with oil)??
Or maybe it needs a different shim??
TIA!!

I would say get a tick performance master, new slave and a shim. Sounds like your slave is too far away from the pressure plate or its just dead. Its nice to have a master cylinder like ticks that you can adjust.
That is NORMAL. How fast are they spinning? Put your foot on brake...what happens?

When the clutch pedal is in, shouldn't it NOT spin the tires? I know they would get going...
No idea about hitting the brake.
Pulling the tranny down this afternoon and putting a new slave up.

Yes it does matter especially if it's a Spec, Ram or some others.
Measuring is imperative unless it's a Monster clutch. Monster's are designed to not use a shim.
They test every unit for consistency and precision before they ship them out.
Why would anyone use an old slave with 11K on it ?

I've been there before with the tranny juggling.
Never realized how much fun it could be.
What was the actual cause of the problem, the ARP flywheel bolts not fitting ?

Sorry to hear you had to go through all that hassle to figure that out.
It must be a good feeling to know you got your car running right again and figured out the problem.
Did you end up just using GM OEM flywheel bolts ?

No, not neccessarily, especially with a new clutch. Now, if you hit the breaks, and the motor dies, then you have a problem. But, if tires are just slowly moving, that is perfectly normal.
