clutch issue: moves at 4k rpm

[jt15833]

used some ebay F1 Stage 2 clutch, adjusted the pushrod pretty far out of the clutch pedal more into the master cylinder to get it to shift. right before my battery died due to charging issues, i was stopped on a small incline, car in 1st with clutch all the way out. would slowly start rolling when rpm's got to 4k rpm, i went into parking lot and am getting tow home. when i was installing clutch disc and pressure plate i had to screw one bolt in, c clamp down the other side a little to be able to put screw in and did that for all 6 bolts, so i think the pressure plate has plenty of clamping for on the disc. you guys think its poor clutch pedal/pushrod adjustment??

my plan for adjusting is back pushrod a good bit into the pedal and out of the master cylinder, let the car idle. clutch in try to shift into 1st then reverse, if its choppy/doesnt go adjust pedal more into master cylinder.

ok you shouldn't have to use a clamp to get your input shaft t engage the clutch disk! it sounds like your throwout bearing is not seated properly and is oushing against the tines of the pressure plate while in the rest postion, this means your transmission needs to come back out and carefully re-assemble
