I read another thread relating to checking the clutch bracket, where is this and could this be causing my tranny to not being able to go through the gears once the truck is started? I can get the trans to shift when off, but not when started. Did new slave and master and have been bleeding all day.

My only guess would be that they are referring to the metal piece that comes in contact with the piston of the slave cylinder.

I believe the clutch bracket is just a piece of metal that reinforces the firewall where the clutch pedal is.

This is what it is looking like. I didn not bench bleed the master, after pumping the until I legs like Schwarzenegger, I just let it gravity bleed. We got the lines right, I am thinking I have the same pressure plate problem.
