Default trans help

I just got my trans rebuilt, new z06 clutch kit from LUK, new a/c delco slave and master. The car will shift into gear when the car is off. However, when i turn the car on its hard to put the trans in any gear. The clutch pedal seems fine since we bled the system over and over manually and with a mityvac. The trans will shift during normal driving (over 30mph) but gives me a hard time shifting when coming to a stop. Any help will be appreciated.

I would think there is still an air in the line issue before I would suspect a bad( new) disc. Also with the other system parts being new, I would look to more bleeding. Did you bench bleed/ prefill the master before you installed it?Did you re-use the pressureplate bolts? Did you torque and thread lock them? I have seen these back out and cause the problem you describe.
