t56 problem. help???
i completed my t56 swap, but had problems with the hydraulics. i bought the pre-bleed unit from GM, but they didn't work right. i tried bleeding them afterwards, but got nothing-not a single bubble came out. with the slave off, we pried on the fork to verify that everythign was working properly-the slave just wouldn't push far enough on the fork. so i cut the rod from the slave in half, and put threads on it and a coupling nut, so i could lenghthen it until it worked. it ended up being about an inch and a half longer than it originally was. right now its to the point where it can go through the gears right and i can drive it, but the clutch grabs right at the floor- i have to pretty much have it all the way to the floor to go into gear. is there any way to fix this? its almost impossible to shift it fast. has this happened to anyone else- and will my setup work? could this just be the style clutch i have?

it is in right- everything came from the 4th generation car, so the throwout bearing is attached to the pressure plate.
