clutch wont fully disengage
hey guys. i got a t-5 on a L98 and the thing just will not disengage the clutch. for the life of me i cannot get into into gear when the car is running. i bled the damn thing 50 times...pumped the crap out of it...i even got a new slave cylinder ($75). i've dropped my trans like 5 times in the last month..I DONT WANNA DO IT AGAIN! lol...anyway, i did all this be myself and i admit im no mechanic or anything so im guessing it may be my wrong doings somewhere. is there supposed to be a spring that pushes the yoke off the flywheel at all? because after the slave cylinder has beeln holding the clutch on the flywheel i cant see how it "pulls" it off the flywheel when the clutch pedal is pressed.

If its got the '82/83 mechanical clutch linkage, look at the Z-bar... one of the levers may be cracked.
That happened to me last June. Took about 45 mins to remove, 10 to weld it back together, and about 1/2 hour to reinstall.
