Making normal assumptions here but I am sure you used a clutch alignment tool when you bolted the pressure plate on. Did you make sure that nothing was done to the pilot bushing? I had an issue once where there was way too much grease packed into the pilot bushing and the trans would not go all the way into the bushing. You got the trans in neutral? Is the throwout bearing moving freely on the input shaft bearing retainer?


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
