Hi guys so I did a swap my d16y7 to a less mileage d16y7 i have plans for turbo but first I have this clutch issue I'm pretty sure I installed my clutch properly but at low rpm my car is really hesitant I can't seem to grab gears until around 3 rpm it seems to make this cricket sound but besides maybe installing my clutch wrong I may have bent my shift linkage, if I did would that also affect my driving at low rpm? My gears are really stiff especially 5th and reverse

Check the clutch pedal height and freeplay.

even when the cars off the gears are extremely tight

That's likely a shift linkage issue.
