Unhappy Crap, clutch pedal still rock hard.

Well after replacing the slave and the master cylinder with new parts, I still can get the clutch pedal to move. It will bleed fluid through, but nothing else. I'm starting to wonder now, did centerforce send me the right clutch. It sounds like the slave is fully extended.

Need opinions.
New gm flywheel.
99 T-56.
2001 Centerforce clutch and pressure plate.
2002 slave and master cylinder.

Pedal assembly is stock with modified bracket behind brake master cylinder.

Here is how I'm bleeding it. I open the valve, push pedal in, close valve, and release pedal. Simple right.

Well after taking it apart, it looks like the throw out bearing is making contact with the pressure plate fins. I'm going to take by a tremec shop tomorrow and test the pressure plate. I tried standing on it and it want even flex at all.

By the way, Centerforce did not have a clue or offer any help at all.

Still haven't found the problem, I did pull the clutch and return it to Centerforce requesting my money back. The GM slave was also leaking, so that is going to be returned also.

You probably blew the slave stepping on the clutch hard when it would move (not blaming). Thats strange that the PP fingers woulnd't move.
