I just had an OEM clutch, PP, TOB and ACT Monoloc placed into my car last night
First off the car was running fine before all this (the car only has 24k on it & an ever so slight slip) though I thought I should spend some money and change out all the clutch parts, also driveline fluids this week & the timing belts etc next week.
After 10 hours work, I went into the car to leave and while the car was on, it would not engage into any gear. I went to get the employees and notified them. They advised me to drive it to wear it in, though I could hardly go into reverse or first. Engine off it will row through the gears though is notchy
Once the car gets moving it goes into gears ok, though I feel a slight vibration through the clutch that was not there before. When at stop then going to first or reverse it will not go in without heavy effort. When I came home there was a smell though I don't remember it or this problem when I had the work done at the dealership on my previous evo.
I don't want to ruin sychros as the car was running pretty solid. They changed the bracket holding the bushings from one evo to mine, though that didnt seem to do anything. He also adjusted the clutch pedal.
One of the employees drove it in and concurred that it drove fine prior to the clutch job
Please advise as to what the problem might be as this is all I am looking for.
I found this thread but I don't know how accurate it might be

This thread is disconcerting as it specifically says dont force it into gear (which I was told to wear it in) as it will ruin synchros
