Default ACT Twin Disk won’t engage gears with engine running

If the car is off it will go into all the gears, if I turn the motor on it won’t.
Pressure Plate? Anyone?

You sure you assembled the clutch together correctly, and had a free lash of .125"~.145" between the TB compressed all the way towards the torque, to the clutch spring fingers. Hence this free lash gap tells you if the clutch has been assembled correctly, the Flywheel was hot enough to seat against the crank correctly when installed, and even if the slave cylinder need to be faced or shimmed off the back of the torque tube to get the correct free lash if everything else if correct.


Next, what is the master clutch cylinder in the car? If a Tick (since it pushed more fluid per stroke then the OEM), then did you adjust the master cylinder correctly?
Also, did you make sure that you did connect the middle coupling on the clutch line correctly, and fluid is making it way from the master to the slave cylinder with all the air bleed out of the line.


Hence right now, clutch is not fully disengaging, and why can't get the car in gear with the motor running.
