Bassicly my 96 civic 5spd cluch was slipping when i gassed it and got on it, If I let off the gas it would grab and i could keep driving fine. So i changed the throw out bearing, clutch disk and preassure plate. Assembled it all and now its like the clutch never engages. I can start the car in gear it dosent stall or jump just like its in nutral you can shift threw all gears without pushing in clutch. Ive had the tranny out 3 times trying to figyre it out need suggestions. The cluch id in correct flywheelside to flywheel side, what could it be??? Thanks in advance

If you had a problem with hydraulics with the slave cylinder, master cylinder, or any of the lines, then your clutch would not disengage. With no slave cylinder, the clutch is inherently engaged at all times.

Did you have your flywheel turned or replaced? If the flywheel clutch surface has been worn down too far, and the pressure plate surface has not been matched to height, then there will be too much clearance for the clutch disk. The pressure plate will never be able to hold the clutch down.
