Clutch/Throw out noise

Clutch/Throw out noise
I just installled a new valair kevlar/ceramic clutch in my 1997 F350 CCLB and now I am getting a grinding/dry bearing noise when the clutch is engaged (pedal is up). The noise goes a way as soon as I put my foot on the pedal and move it about 1-2". I looked under the truck with it running in neutral and the clutch fork is wobbling up and down. I had my dad push the pedal down while I watched the fork. When the clutch pedal is all the way down the fork stops wobbling. Also the noise goes away when I push the slave rod in and pull the fork away from the throw out. WTH???
My thought is that the clutch forks are slipping on the throw out untill more pressure is put on it? The new throw out is new and pritty stiff and harder to spin.
Is the fork wobble a normal thing?
I do have some gear roll noise now as well that I didnt have with my old clutch. SMF in both situations.

As far as I know the clutch fork wobble is normal. And for noise or whatever I get vibration. I think it's just the solid flywheel. The 03 7.3 I had before with the zf 6 did thesame. I replaced my clutch, pressure plate , converted to a solid flywheel , new ford oem fork , new oem throw out bearing, new oem quill on the transmission , new slave and master cylinder , rebuilt the pedal box bushings , and did the heim joint mod. And my fork wobbles but have had no problems for 6 months now.
I replaced my clutch about 8 months ago. First time I used cheapo parts store stuff. I dropped the tranny again after that about 2 months later cause the throw out was riding and it was in pieces.
