Need major clutch help!!
I installed a act xt00 clutch and a streetlite flywheel.
Now i cannot put my car in gear!! I have changed the slave cylinder and bled the clutch, i have no idea what it could be? the car runs fine and there is no chattering of the clutch, it just will not go into gear when the car is on, but when it is off the car will shift gears.
95 civic dx with z6 swap, hydrolic clutch...
any ideas?
a friend said that the flywheel would need to be turned...?

flywheel doesnt need to be turned... My guess is that either you have a slight shift linkage problem.. forgot to put something back on or in... even the small rubber things. Or you need to just yank the stick while the car is on till it goes into gear, then it should go into all of them fine...... my car was like this when i first installed my clutch, did u grease up the Throw out bearing?

i greased the throwout bearing, i did not end up with any extra parts, i followed the haynes manual and another manual to do the job. the car shifts when it is off, so i am thinking the linkage would be ok, the car runs good and revs good without any wierd noises that would be expected if ---- was messed up... it just seems like the clutch pedal needs to go farther because the clutch does not feel released..

Re:Need major clutch help!!
Sounds to me like you need to ---- around with the adjusting cable some more. Can you switch gears with the clutch not pushed in while it's off? Cause my car does that when it's off, but of course you can't do it when it's on. Does it feel any easier to shift if you push in the clutch while it's off? If it doesn't then it sounds like you need to ajust the clutch.

Re:Need major clutch help!!
ok heres something you might want to try.... beeing how your clutch is new... it might be too damn thick... and not be disengaging properly... what you might want to do actually first is get that little pushrod from the slave cylinder that activates the release fork..... and go into your garage or homedepot or something and find a rod of that similar lengh but a bit longer.... you might have to grind it smaller a few times till i t gets right... and run around with that for a while untill the clutch breaks in... then go back to the OG rod.... this happend to my old eclipse... and its pretty much had the same problem you have now....
