so i just replaced my blown trans and i am now having problems with the clutch. I cannot get the clutch to disengage to put it into gear, and once i get it into gear the clutch slips. I put a new disc in so its not that the disc or pressure plate are blown. The only thing i can think of is that the clutch fork that i used was bent or something. Are these symptoms of a bent clutch fork? Is there something else i should look at also? Before my trans blew i did not have any of these problems and i did use a different clutch fork (stupid me) thats why i am thinking that may be the problem. thanks for the input.
 
I had the same thing happen to me, when i changed my clutch and used a different fork then what was on. I put the old one back on, and presto, it worked again
 
When you put your clutch in did you have the flywheel machined for the correct step height?
 
i am using a fidenza flywheel, and did not change anything with the cluch but the disc as it was a little worn. so no resurfacing.
