Did you use the LS1 flywheel or did you get the required LS2 flywheel?

Default ls7 clutch troubles

with the clutch on the floor the transmission is still engaged. I used a dickey scoggins kit with a ls2 flywheel and ls7 clutch setup. should be a direct bolt in. I cannot shift into reverse it grinds and the car stays engaged at all times like the slave is stuck. I have bleed the system until the pedal com up but it still do actuate the slave cylinder. what gives do I still have air in the system or what. car is undriveable it will shift on the lift but is notchy like it is not fully disengaging.
