Default T56 Install - Moves with clutch in

I finished up my T56 install yesterday and was going to take her on a trial run today. I'm using a LS1 T56 with a Mcleod 8710-10 SFI bell, clutch, and PP along with ATS OEM modified hydraulics.

The problems (probably related):

- I can't get it in gear with the car started
- If I kill the engine the tranny slides in gear easily, but when started the car creeps in first or reverse with the clutch pushed in

I can hear the throwout bearing pushing the PP fingers with the engine off and pushing the clutch so I know their is movement. I was in contact with Tyler throughout the ordeal so I know everything went in correctly and smoothly. I was told no adjustment shims were needed for anything, just slide the tranny in through the clutch/pp and hook up the hydraulics.

This is my first clutch install, but not first manual. I'm not sure what could be wrong. I'm going to grind the welds off my clutch stop and remove it in case I have it stopping it just before 15/16 inch.

Any other ideas if it's not the clutch stop?

Thanks,
Kerry
