New clutch kit not working
Im recently finished installing my new ACT flywheel and clutch kit on my s5 turboII and put the transmission back on and dropped it all back Into my rx7. Then go to install my clutch slave cylinder and I realize my clutch fork is stuck! I can only pull it towards me I cannot push it back in order to engage it. What could I have installed wrong? I pulled the transmission back out but I can't notice what's wrong.

Did you replace the clutch release bearing while you were in there? If so compare the new one to the old one, you may have a thicker release bearing and it's engaging with the pressure plate much earlier in the clutch lever's stroke than intended
Just a guess, I hope you still have the transmission removed

I'm still not sure what you are trying to explain but You can always try this:
If you think it is the slave sticking it's rod out too much to install then just put the slave rod ON the fork,while cracking the bleeder.Then close it.
That will expel fluid out of the slave and let you fit the slave onto the trans.

Get a pic of the throw out bearing on the fork..on the trans.Can you post that?
Bearing is supposed to hit the tines of the Pressure plate.
Also if you can look at the clutch plate.Is that installed properly?
