Clutch Problems

I have a serious problem with my clutch and I need the opinion and suggestions of some of the LS1 gurus. I have had a Spec stage 2 clutch installed in my car and it done fine untill about 270 miles into the breakin process and then it just wouldnt work anymore. Ive had both the 2001-up slave and master cylinder installed on it and it still has a bleedback problem. It will not go into gear or anything. I have pressure on the pedal but nothing happens when i try to engage it. The dealership and I have both talked to spec and GM and they cannot figure what is wrong except for the fact that the clutch could be bad. I can take up to 3 weeks to have the clutch sent in and the sent back if there is a problem with it. The problem with that is, my car is a daily driver so i cannot wait that long.

Help Please.

Well, if it doesn't work (I guess engage?), what is keeping it from engaging? If it is a bad clutch, than that is a problem. Do you have your old clutch?

Are you saying that with the motor running you cannot get the trans to go into gear? With the motor off, does it go into gear? Or are you saying that the car won't move when you let the clutch out?
