Rapid City,

Well new master cylinder came in. Got the old one out with relatively no big issues but it was crusty as hell. While replacing it I decided to replace the master pin, plastic washer, and plastic insert and a new cotter pin. That plastic insert was such a pain to get in without taking anything apart but I got it after awhile (and almost losing it when it slipped out my fingers 3 times)
Also, SCREW using a cotter pin up there.. I just swapped the cotter pin for one of these push retaining pins from my shift linkage on the trans. SO much easier than having to try and bend the pins up there.
New master in, I made sure to extend the rod basically so it was flush with the inside of the "U" shaped.. bolt?
Bled the clutch as best I can and...
The damn thing STILL won't go into gear.
All that's left is
Clutch pedal assembly has too much play (which it doesn't seem like it does)
I SOMEHOW managed to out the clutch disk in BACKWARDS (this would absolutely suck)
Flywheel step height is incorrect (this would also absolutely suck)
Is it even possible to put the disk in backwards? Looking at my old one the protruding part of the disk facing outwards (while correctly installed) would have to share a common area with the flywheel bolts and if you managed to snug everything up without noticing that, id be VERY surprised.
Not a single store around me has speed bleeders so I had to resort to ordering some.
Is it possible that I need to shim the pivot ball even MORE? Buddy sent me a video of his, and he has quite a bit more of travel in his slave. Same clutch kit, oem everything including clutch fork and pivot ball. He doesn't have a shim either..
Any tips you guys can think of?
