just replaced the clutch/flwheel on an fc and it will not engage...
it is an ACT street/strip clutch plate, heavy duty pressure plate, and a 17lb. ACT flywheel...
also, installed are new master and slave cylinders and stainless steel hydro line...
so everything is back together(what a b*tch), pedal is bleed, free-play is adjusted... but the clutch will not engage, it just keeps slipping as bad as the barely-there original disc...
any suggestions before i have to take it completely apart again?

btw, no oil or any such fluid soaked the clutch plate...
thanks,
mike

 

update...
after removing the plate at the bottom of the bell housing, i can see that the pressure plate engages/disengages from the clutch plate... the problem is that it doesn't create enough pressure to prevent the clutch from slipping, even from turning the flywheel by hand while in first gear.
the slave cylinder appears to be completely compressed so that there is no pressure on the fork fomr the outside...
the only thing i can think of is that the fork may be bent or hte throwout bearing is too far towards the pressure plate...
i really dont want to take this trans out again, but it is becoming more and more apparent that i will have too...
any advice/ideas/words of wisdom...?
