Tim,
The slave is original GM that came with the transmission. The McCleod kit came with pre-drilled clutch pedal, and the alignment looks to be dead on. If this still does not work, I'll switch to DSE set up with Tilton 7/8" master.

I already dropped the tranny, and it's wet around the fittings on the tick remote bleeder line. I was able to tighten it 1/8 of a turn. Think that's part of the issue. I'm going to replace the slave/clutch set up (unknown miles) with a slave/LS7 clutch set up.

Does any one know whether the Centerforce DYAD clutch can be rebuilt? A guy at Centerforce told me it can't be rebuilt, and I found it hard to believe.
