Post Clutch wont engage or disengage
I replaced the clutch, throwout bearing, slave cylinder, master cylinder, and resurfaced the flywheel. After the install of the clutch I drove the car about 150 parked it, then came out the next morning and had the problem with the clutch not wanting to engage or disengage.

As i was taking it back apart i noticed the drivers side axle wasn't in completely, could this have had anything to do with it?

Is the transmission still bolted tightly to the engine?

Go under the car and push the fork towards the slave cylinder by hand, does the fork move or is there a fluid pressure stopping it? I don't see you changed the fulcrum ball. That should be on your list of to do's every change. Also, how does your clutch fluid level look?

No i have removed the transmission from the car. There was pressure in the clutch pedal all the way to the floor, just felt like it wasn't catching. Clutch fluid was good. Neither fulcrum ball or clutch fork were replaced.

Yes i did both of those. When i was researching i read that if the axle isn't in all the way that could cause these problems, is that true? I forgot to mention its a 95 Talon awd.

youll have bigger problems than that if you didnt put your passanger axle in all the way.
