Default Clutch problem

So I got about 3/4 of my clutch install done. I decided to check the pedal, and the pedal is rock hard, cannot be depressed. Is the clutch fork installed wrong or.....
I installed a competition stg 4 pp with 4 puck and flywheel.

Thanks for ur input.

Finish the install and retry. Are you saying the pedal is all the way up in the normal position and you cannot depress it with your foot? Some aftermarket pressure plates are harder than stock, requiring more foot effort. If you still cant depress it no matter how hard you push, unbolt the tranny and re-check everything. Cant be hard to figure out.

The clutch slave is not sitting properly in the clutch fork OR the clutch fork is not sitting properly on the release bearing. Check those first..it helps to get a sense of how to put it with the rubber slave boot off.

I think I did everything right the release bearing installed behind the pressure plate like it was when I took it out. Thanks for the input I'll check

Np man. I did the same thing so I know. I actually "forced" the pedal down (two feet in) which resulted in my slave pushrod popping past the fork, and brake fluid all over my transmission . Reinstalled everything, made sure it sat nicely and it worked like magic!
