Yep. That's way too much pressure on the input shaft. How did you put it in there? Did you stab it as far as it would go then crank on the bellhousing bolts to pull the transmission in?

That tight of a bushing will spin the input shaft when the clutch should let it spin. You might as well have never hit the clutch.
Fix that and the problem should go away.

I'd hate to see what kind of thrust load you were putting on that input shaft bearing. It probably had everything stacked up tight in there.

measure and measure again. check all your clearances . sounds like the input shaft is stuck to the pilot bearing making the clutch ineffective. check the clutch plates are sliding freely on the input shaft. measure the ID of the pilot/ the OD of the input shaft where it goes in, check the length and depth into the crankshaft rear etc.



good luck
