problems with clutch install

[mygsx2120]

OK, before I start I know this is a subject that has been covered and yes i searched, so please read first. I am having problems with the clutch disengaging. when turned off the car goes through the gears fine. when turned on the shifter won't move from neutral. after pumping the pedal about ten times it will go into first and down to second but wont go into third. i bled the system until there was no more bubbles, so i don't think there is air. i checked the slave and it works fine. i am going to re-bleed, but was wondering if there was another possible problem. also i tried starting the car in gear and it engages right away. if i push the pedal as hard as i can, it wont jump foward, but if i move my foot a millimeter it engages immediately. i believe i adjusted the pedal as far as it would go (towards the drivers seat). bleeding the system and adjusting the pedal were my only solutions, could there possibly be another problem, or am i just not performing these tasks properly. thanks in advance for any help, and i will continue to search more just in case i misunderstood something.

look by the shifter cables on the top of the transmission and see if the 2 12mm bolts that hold the cables on the bracket are loose...happins alot

1. Did you attach a submerged (in fresh fluid) hose to the bleeder valve while bleeding?

2. By adjusting the pedal, do you mean the push rod on the master cylinder? If so, the rod should be adjusted towards the engine bay to bring engagement point up, not towards the driver seat.

3. New Flywheel? Stepped properly?

1. yes i used a submerged hose in fresh fluid when bleeding the system. also i forgot to mention that i installed a SS clutch line. dont think this would matter but....

2. i adjusted the rod by the clutch pedal. i am pretty sure it was the right one. it has a sensor of some sort attached to the end. i believe it is the sensor the keeps your car from starting without using the clutch. did not have internet access at the time to double check so i just used my haines manual (i know i need a factory manual c.d.). either way i adjusted it the wrong direction, so that is definately part of my problem. i'm at work now so i'll check tomorrow.

3. yes, i used an a.c.t. 2600 with a street disk and an a.c.t. street lite flywheel. i believed the flywheel came stepped properly, but please correct me if i'm wrong.

once again, thanks for the help

meh, I wouldn't trust a printed out piece of paper saying it's right. To the machine shop! That's my vote.
