Angry Help meeee

Just installed a new Spec Stage 1 clutch in my ls1 trans am...

And also installed a different t56(borg warner I think) (& my stock was a tremec) with just a little less miles. Came out of a z28.

Now that the new clutch and tranny is in, it will start and for 2 seconds then the engine dies.

Why is it dying?

Maybe the shim needs to come out? The tranny is going into gear.. so thinking its too far foward with that shim and its putting too much pressure on my motor.

AND when I put it in first gear and start it, it jumps forward then dies.

The clutch is not being disengaged, could be the clutch not installed properly, hydraulics not setup or bled properly. You should get it to someone that knows what they are looking for.

As far as the stalling, probably not a trans issue.

not sure why it wouldn't stay running in neutral, that makes it sound like it's something unrelated, did you disconnect the o2's or anything while you were under there and forget to plug them back in?

but yeah clutch definitely isn't disengaging, are you sure you installed the disc the correct way? new slave? how did you bleed it?
