Clutch issues. Can't put gear in while engine running

I think you have ratio issues. When you get it back together, do NOT push the pedal to the floor. Set your freeplay to about one inch(exact amount not critical). Then put the tranny in neutral. Turn the key to start, and push the pedal down just far enough until the clutch switch allows the starter to crank the engine.If this is more than about 60% of theoretical pedal travel,stop. Temporarily defeat the switch. Start the car.Push the pedal half way down and try second gear. If no go, try 80% and retry. If no go, try 90%. Release the pedal after each try, and select a different gear. If still a no go at 90%,stop. You will need to check the plate departure.
If at any time the new clutch behaves just like the old one, STOP!
