99 cummins clutch install gone wrong
 

Help needed I just installed a new clutch kit w/ new dodge master and slave cylinder trans went right in no issues there but it will not go in gear while engine is running disk is in corect plate is torqued to 22ft lbs any ideas ? please help need to get back on the road to pay uncle sam

on a bind same thing happened to mine first time i installed take it back out and put it back together little trick i learned is install the clutch/bell housing and slave before tranny have someone push in the clutch so the tranny slides right in much easier. the disk is mostlikely on a bind
