Ok, so back in december I ordered a stage 3+ Spec Clutch and flywheel. I finally got around to installing it this past weekend. I had everything I needed at my girlfriends dad's house, so we did it there, and he helped, having done clutches in all of his car new and old.
We followed the directions that GM Performance Parts has on their website. I looked for the link but can't find it at the moment. We followed it step by step, and removed the tranny, replaced everything, and put it all back together. We started to bleed it, but was getting no where. I must have tried for an hour, then we decided to try to start the car.
It wouldn't start. It will turn on, but when I go to crank it, it just clicks, almost like when my injector fuse blew (first thing I'm gonna check tomorrow just in case. I checked some other fuses just in case). Nothing else happens.
I also ended up heading up to the store to get a different brake/clutch bleeding kit, ended up getting almost the exact same kind the recommend using in the guide. A vacuum bleeder. I tried that for an hour and no go.
there is just so much that could be screwed up.. .check all wiring connection in the fuse panel, push down all the relays, make sure they weren't blown, I hope you disconnected the battery before starting the project,
also did you disconnect/reconnect the starter?
as for bleeding... well ... it just sucks, make sure you have the correct cap and get it up to 20hg or so and have someone pump the clutch pedal, and repeat over and over and over again.

Anyone have any suggestions?
make sure that the base of the fuse pannel inder the hood is seated properly. About that clutch bleading thing you put 15 HG of vac. on the clutch/brake resivore and you still cant get clutch pressure? is it bleeding off at all while your pull a vac. on the system.
