Question Tranny/clutch - Question/Problem

Hiya All -
The Tranny is in, clutch has been replaced, all bolts are secured, and amazingly, I have no extra bolts...lol The problem is that I cannot shift into any gear when the car is running. The clutch pedal feels a bit spongy, but the fluid in the cylinder is fine. When the car is not running, I can shift into any gear.
Does anyone know what I did wrong while replacing my clutch? What would cause the inability to shift, even with the clutch fully depressed? The pedal itself is adjustable, and is adjusted to its maximum throw -
I thought about bleeding the clutch, but I don't think that is the answer because I lost no fluid when I changed the clutch....

Has anyone else had this problem?

Any Ideas?

Your profile says you have a first gen... so I don't know if this is possible on a first gen but...

On a 3rd gen (1993-1995), it's possible to put the clutch disk in backward which leads to the exact symptoms you described. Is it possible that you put the disk in backward?

I did it once on my car, so that's how I know
