Default Car Won't Move

Just did a complete t56 conversion. Bleed the slave. Started the car and pushed the clutch in put the car in gear and it didn't move. The clutch is a used Spec 2. The trans will go into all the gears with and without the clutch pedal pressed. The pressure plate did get rained on a week before I put it in the car and I noticed alittle rust on the hinges or wutever you would call the pieces that are on the outside of the pressure plate. What could be my problem? Need help asap! Thanks

Its possible I guess . How does the pedal feel ? Sounds like either the slaver cylinder is stuck pushing the fingers in or it was installed incorrectly . Either way , you have a clutch problem and it will probably have to come back apart .

What kind and year of car ?

The clutch feels great. Perfect pressure I would say. Real firm. The slave is new and Ive installed the trans twice and Im pretty sure its was installed correctly.

did you shim the slave? Spec's sometimes require a shim. bad idea putting a used spec in a car with an unturned flywheel. get ready to take it back out cause it's gonna chatter like hell.
