Default Clutch Issues, NEED INSIGHT

2000 SS Camaro LS1 T56
Ok so i bought my car with a bad clutch, knew it was bad
Just put a brand new ZOOM Stage 2 Clutch in it and a Ram 2550 Stage 2 Flywheel
ALL BRAND NEW
My car now will not shift into second gear if its between 2500 and 5000 rpm, well i cant say it wont, because it will but you have to granny shift it. Im lookin at usually a 1 to 2 second shift time, not good
Also Reverse has been a pain, it will feel like its in and then kick back out grind and not go in reverse, pull it back out works fine the second time.
Just dont know what to do right now, getting sick or M6, which pains me to say but at this point im bout to trade for an auto

It is possible that the clucth is not fully releasing, or that the transmission has bad synchros. Could also be a case of more clutch than you need for daily driving.

may not have worked all the air out yet and the clutch isnt disengaging all the way. try pumping the clutch a few times before putting in gear and see if that makes a difference.

I just had my shop take another look and see whats going on, They feel like the clutch isnt engaging all the way, so they removed some clip off the back of the clutch thats supposed to give about a half inch more of clutch depression,,, if not they want to pull some of the insulation from under the carpet to help in get farther,,, if that still doesnt help i guess alot of poeple have been welding little bars to the clutch pedal, i guess its pushs on the clutch release, but thats a last stand kind of option, hydros were all rebleed today and this is 0 air, after work ill try it out without the clip and let you know, thanks guys
