I finally got my B back together over the weekend after a rebuild and it starts and runs great in neutral. Last night I went to drive it out of the garage and it grinds in every gear with the pedal depressed. When I have the pedal fully depressed it even sounds like it lugs the engine down a little bit.
I put in a new pilot bushing, new clutch disc, new pressure plate, and new throw out bearing during the rebuild. I made sure the clutch disc was orientated the right way when installed and used a clutch alignment tool to make sure things were centered. I had adjusted the clutch pedal free play to about an inch and a half. Greased the throwout bearing. The surface of the flywheel was cleaned up a little bit when it was at the machine shop. So I am stumped as to why the transmission shaft is not releasing from the engine. I have done some looking in the site archives on this issue, but would like some input on what the culprit might be before I go any further. I am not a clutch expert by any means.
