Default Clutch install problem

So i installed a new SOS clutch today and accidently had the fork installed on the TO bearing when bolting it to the transmission. Is there a good chance i broke something? When i got in the car the clutch pedal is hung up and wont go to the floor.

which side of the pressure plate is the throwout bearing on? we have a "pull clutch" therefore in order to remove the throwout bearing on a properly installed clutch, you must unbolt the pressure plate...

so it goes flywheel/clutch disk/throwout bearing/presure plate.

you should not have been able to bolt up the transmission,

i literally just got my car running 5 min ago from accident/paint bay/clutch all done by me, so i know haha.

EDIT:

i have it installed in that order. I got the transmission started then connected the release fork and proceeded to push the transmission in the rest of the way.

there isn't much to break under there , it is all pretty beefy metal. The clutch fork can get jammed in a position that might seem like it is installed, but you know it isn't installed right when it doesn't work properly. I would pull the slave and slave boot, pull the clutch fork outwards and then re-install the fork in the proper position. Re-install the slave once you are sure it is in it's proper position. Hopefully you installed all of the other parts properly and you lubed them in the proper places as they can cause issues if not properly installed, but I'd start with the clutch fork first.

You should be fine, before you start it up look into the bell housing and have someone actuate the clutch to make sure nothing is binding.

Thanks guys, ended up dropping the transmission again and do it all over again. Works really good now. Except the issue with the fuel cutting out right now lol
