Got it... after 8 hrs of BLEEDING that sucker... biggest regret was not installing the LAPD bleeder last week when we did new slave clutch etc... but the problem was trying to bleed it by my self pumping the clutch crawling under the car to bleed it and finding something to hold peddle while I bleed it... advice for anyone attacking this ** BENCH BLEED IT FIRST ** then progress to bleeding the rest... after 4/5 hrs of playin with it I removed it completely, bench bleed it out of the car, and re installed it start to finish there was +/- 45 min... I did track down some awesome write ups on the LS forums with guys that buy vac's and do it that way... It just seemed once I had all the air out of the system, up would pop another air bubble...

Advice on adjusting the peddle... do you want it closer to the floor or higher up... I adjusted it to the factory height and made a minor adjustment up with it and it shifts smooth 1-6... I cant do anything over 3,500rpm as im breaking in the clutch and need to retune the car with the increased load on the engine
