i have a 90 eagle talon tsi, Just replaced the clutch (southbend tz series) and i resurfaced my stock fly wheel(back to oem spec .610) and now it doesn't want to go into any gear while the car is running. I vacuum bleed the whole system from the slave, still nothing. the pedal assy seems to be in good condition there is no seepage from the master cyl. The end of the clutch fork is a tiny bit towards the drive side which ive read is where it is supposed to be and it moves almost 3/4 of an inch. someone mentioned mabe i messed up the splines when i was putting the trans back it, the install did go kind of rough. i ended up taking the car back apart:cry: the splines where fine. when i took the clutch apart u can see where the disc wasnt completly coming off of the pressure plate. one side of the pressure plate has a hot spot on it. any idea??

Looks like install issue or you damaged the clutch disk hanging the transmission on the disk during installation.
