cant figure this out...

i just mounted a v6 t5 behind my v8. I used a stock pressure plate and an advanced adapters friction disc from summit. The problem is when i push the clutch pedal it wont disengage, i cant get it into any gear. i have bled the hydraulics and still no better. what else could it be? It wont grind, it just feels like its hitting a wall with the shifter and wont go into gear. if you raise the rear of the car and try to put it in gear, it wont fully go into gear but the wheels will start to spin. what can i do?

Sounds like the clutch gear fits into the pilot bushing too tight. Maybe dinged up the pilot during install.

You DID put the throwout bearing onto the fork correctly, right? The spring thing with the fingers, is INSIDE the throwout bearing groove, not "clipped" onto the back of the throwout?

Yeah if you do that, the hub will lock onto the flywheel bolts & never disengage.
