It sounds like you have a clutch problem, not a transmission problem. If the clutch is going all the way to the floor and it is hard shifting it sounds like the clutch is not fully engaging which causes hard shifting and eventually will lead to synchro damage in the transmission. Did you measure the slave throw when you were installing? You may have the wrong slave cylinder or a clutch master cylinder issue.I have the Tremec T56 Magnum and it's junk. I'm not sure why everyone here thinks it's great. The shifting from 1-2, and 2-3 keeps getting harder and harder, these days it occasionally grinds. I'm using the tremec fluid (since they recently changed this to the fluid they recommend on their website). I've even dropped the trans, packed it up and sent it to the factory, they returned it with an "everything is fine" diagnosis. I originally bought the trans in a kit from JPC and it all seemed to fit together well. but that McLeod dual disc clutch was WAY too loud. I replaced it with an Exedy mach 500, and now the clutch pedal is almost on the floor. maybe it needs a shim, though there was nothing in the instructions about it.
All I've done is make my car undriveable. I shoulda' waited for new Corvette
