new clutch won't disengage

[shotime_89]

the boys at the dealership i work at put a new centerforce clutch & pressure plate (plus machined flywheel) into my '93 (also new ford TOB, and rear main seal). finally get it buttoned up and the clutch will not fully disengage. it comes close, but not enough to allow any gear selection.
we're out of ideas, so are the folks at centerforce and the local ford dealer.
any ideas are much appreciated

They probably installed the disc backwards.

haha, wouldn't be surprised. i'll have it apart tomorrow, hopefully it's as simple as that.

There've been a lot of threads about bad pressure plates lately. You're best off just putting in the stock Valeo units. When these companies like Centerforce dissassemble the pressure plate to "improve" the performance, they seem to screw something up.

might not be aligned perfect.

Pressure plate bolts torqued? Easy to hang the plate up on a pin sometimes.
