Clutch won't disengage!!! help me out!!!

I have a 86 one piece rear main seal 305 hooked up to a t-56 trans from a 96 Camaro. I have a 1" bore Willwood clutch master and stock slave. My clutch is a spec stage 1.

The clutch pedal goes only as far as pressuring the system before stopping dead. I don't want to force it too much because it is a $80 clutch master and i don't want to brake it. I had a fluke 1 time where it went to the floor but after it came back up it would only go 2" in again.
I can put it in gear when off and start it and it will move so it is set right.

The only thing I can think of is that the flywheel I paid $120 for and spent $60 getting it resurfest before finding out it was a little warped. I could rock it back and forth on flat ground about 1/2-1 mm, I put it in anyway. I am wondering if it is making enough of a difference in tilt that the throwout bearing is being pinched on the forks so it won't disengage. But I was thinking that the plate would mash together and it wouldn't matter.

Anyone have thoughts on the matter I will be using my friends lift tomorrow hopefully to take it out for a look-see.

I have found these flywheels for my app. for $100 brand new
are they any good?

Thanks in advanced, JR

P.S. One thing that really drive me crazy is anywhere is go, even a dealership, and I say, "I'm looking for a flywheel for a V8 Camaro 93-97" and they go automatic or manual. I really want to beat the living crap out of people. A flywheel is for a manual a FLEX-PLATE! is for a automatic. It has a different name for a reason, GOD!!!! I had to go though this at lest 20 time when I was looking for this POS flywheel,
it gets annoying especially when your talking to supposed “car” people.
Of course maybe I'm expecting to much from people again

Yup i took it out yesterday, after a got my motor running , and I saw my error. And your right you do feel instantly dumb after you realize what you did . I don't feel to bad though i installed the whole thing by myself on a wet floor and bad light so it was probable that something like this would happen.
I got my friend to help me hold the tranny up this time .

I will be burnning rubber in exactly 1 hour WOOOOOT!!!

moving on to suspension now money money money
