Several months back I installed a Z06 clutch, new GM master and GM slave in my 98 SS. A couple of weeks ago, I began experiencing difficulty shifting. It began to be more difficult trying to shift between gears. Now, I cannot get the car into gear when it is running. When I start the car in gear, the gear starts like 1/2 inch from the floor.

I noticed that the fluid level was a little low. I guessed there was air in the line. My buddy and I bled the hydraulics thoroughly. New fluid was going through. No change.

When I installed the clutch I also installed a new fywheel. I did not see any shims in the install kit. Was I supposed to shim it? When I push the clutch pedal in, the hydraulic line moves. I wouldn't think I have a bad master? Bad slave?

Hey, I am an older guy and don't really put a lot of wear on the clutch. What in the world is going on?

Thanks

sounds like either master or slave took a ****,

your clutch is not disengage enough. still drag the disc cause you can not put in gear when the car is running

I have the same problem. I'll find out tomorrow hopefully what it is. Most likely the slave.

Sounds like it is definitely hydraulics. These systems are a real bitch to bleed, thats why GM sells them already bled ready to install. I don't think you have to shim a new fly wheel as long as it is a good quality one made to factory specs.
