Question DD install problems

I installed my new DD today. When I went to start it, it just clicked really loud. For some reason I thought to try and turn the harmonic to see if it would turn. No dice the motor is now locked tight. I took out the starter thinkin maybe it hung up somehow. Still locked with no starter. Transmission turns when in neutral. Motor turned before installing transmission, I had to hold it to torque the pressure plate. We're thinkin something in the clutch, input area.

Any other ideas?

is the neutral safety switch working? That would have nothing to do with the engine not turning but IDK

I found it.


Wrong clutch, we're guessing. The pressure plate is hitting the bell-housing.


Gotta call GOS and see what Aden says on Monday.
