Default Problems with new clutch

Im posting this for a friend of mine. Has a 2000 Six speed SS. Anyway, we have just put a new Mcleod Adjustable Master Cylinder and a new slave cylinder into the car. We have already bled it a ton and have really good pedal pressure. But when we go to put it into gear as soon as it comes up agaisnt the syncros the car starts to move even when the clutch is to the floor. Its as if the clutch isnt disengauging all the way. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

A little more info...was the flywheel turned or new, is there a shim behind the slave? I had the same problem, I replaced the slave and not the master and I had a hard time getting it into 1st and reverse unless I pumped the pedal twice and then it when into gear. I changed the master to the 02 style and did the drill mod to get more volume of fluid pushing and all is well now. Sounds like you are not getting enough throw to disengauge the clutch that is why I asked about the shim and flywheel being turned or new FW?

Brand new flywheel. There is no shim behind the slave. The Slave is a brand new 02 unit that has been drilled. The master is a Mcloed Adjustable unit.

Did the clutch kit supply a shim for the slave?

The last time I put mine together it did that. I started it in gear and drove it. It was fine after about 2 miles.
