New Flywheel and Clutch, can't get into gear.
xjay1337:
You overtightning the bolts wouldn't cause the issue.
I do strongly suspect the clutch kit is incorrect or fitted incorrectly.

I'm sure you cannot physically put the clutch plate on the opposite way round as it wouldn't go on.

Yeah I tested that with the old parts and it certainly is physically impossible to do that.
Today I'm going to unbolt the pressure plate through the starter hole, try and check that the disc is on the spline properly and then re-bolt, but this time to the torque spec.

With the engine running, if I try to select any gear without clutch up there is massive resistance (never actually tried doing that without a clutch, so I guess that's normal? Or wouldn't it start to crunch?) And trying to shift feels exactly the same no matter how far I push the clutch pedal down thereafter. So it feels like there is literally 0 difference across the entire pedal travel.
I've had the starter off and someone to push the clutch down and back up and I can physically see it working.
I would say the pressure plate moves on its dowels about 5-10mm?
Surely it doesn't need to move further than that to disengage?
Or should the pressure plate be totally static and only move within the forks? (Meaning I possibly haven't tightened the PP bolts up properly and what I'm seeing shouldn't actually be happening?)

The dowels are there to locate the clutch pressure plate, the pressure plate should not move up and down on the dowels if you have bolted the cover up correctly.

Depends on the clutch kit
Dansmith had it on his. Wouldn't go into first or reverse properly.
