Default LS Swap clutch issue

Hello this is the first time I've used this forum, I have swapped an ls into my 350z and am using the cd008 transmission. I used the ISR swap kit. I have the stock master and slave cylinder. I got the car running and have encountered what seems to be my clutch is over engaging. If I push the clutch half to three quarters of the way in the transmission goes into gear smoothly. If I push it in the whole way I am getting a chatter noise.
Has anyone encountered this issue.

id imagine youve intrucduced a bubble into the system when removing /installing the trans.
You want to use a vacuum bleeder for sure.
If i had used the stock trans in my own swap, id have replaced every part none the less, ie new master, slave and clutch line

re-replying to this .. id imagine you figured it out, but the other solution is to adjust your actual pedal and clevis/ master cylinder rod. You should have just a split second of lose play in the clevis end, or it will be pre engaging the pedal and will allow some clutch slippage.
Not sure what the stock pedal has for stoppers, but the rjm adjustable pedal kit has absolutely every adjustment you cna think of, including stoppers so it doesnt throw too far... if thats a no go, there are pedal mounted floor stoppers available , just give it a google search, they look like a big round pad disc and a threaded clamp for the back of the clutch pedal.

Thanks for all the info, but i figured it out, it wasnt the clutch over engaging.

Bolts loosening on pressure plate?
TOB noise?
What was it?
