Message	Hello. Installed a new Z1 flywheel and HP clutch kit. However, the clutch doesn't seem to be engaging all the way. I have bled the slave cylinder, and Im confident it is good. I have a one piece SS clutch line in mine. I have adjusted the clutch pedal as much as I can, I think in the proper direction. The rod is almost all the way extended, to where its most of the way out of the cletus. Am I going the wrong way??? If the car is off, can shift easily through gears. However, when started wont go into gear. I can force it into 1st, but even with the clutch pedal pushed in the wheel still spins. The car is on stands. If the car is running and in neutral, I can hear the input shaft spinning. If I push in the clutch, I can hear it stop spinning. So I'm stumped at the moment. Slave, master and line we're all working fine before the install. IDK, maybe a bad master cylinder? I dont see any leakage. Thanks for any advice you can give.
