Default Blown clutch?

before i go, its a 91 civic hatch thats bone stock.

alright heres the story. i just got a brand new OEM clutch kit, got it installed and then parked it for a week because i diddnt have my license at the time. well today i got my license back so i took the car out. everything is fine sofar and nothing seems wrong. so i take my friend out for a ride and after the ride i hear the t/o bearing making a noise when i accelerate and im like ok here we go again wtf. ok, now i havent even beat on it at all since im breaking in the new clutch and all so yeah i went to go park the thing at my friends house. i put it in reverse and begin to back up, well the car started shaking violently and and it wouldent come out of gear so obviously im pissed so i just let the clutch out and stalled it. my clutch pedal has absolutely no pressure at all but yet the cable lifts the fork on the tranny? it starts when its in neutral but wont go into gear, but if i start it in gear the car shakes violently and im scared to even turn it on i dont want to break anything else. idk whats going on and i really need everyone on HT's help. im just soo aggrivated right now and im sorry for the paragraph lol.

dang, so it sounds like you did the work, and cant take it back to a shop to blame them, and most importantly get it fixed.

i'm no expert, but it looks like you gonna have to bite the bullet and open up the tranny to see what is going on.

but it sounds like something broke, or something is wrong.

btw I am a huge fan of test driving very close to my home, pushing distance.
anyway, that sucks.

i actually diddnt do it myself, i had my buddy do it for me so needless to say its getting shipped back to him because if he thinks im paying him again to fix it hes out of his mind.

EDIT: it drove perfectly all day then all of a sudden it happened. so i dont know.

the noise you hear while accelerating is the imput shaft bearing if im correct, it sounds like a bunch of grinding after a certain rpm right? i would double check the cable and make sure its not stretched beyond belief, and also check the cable where it meets the fork which might have lost the rubber piece or the nut is stripped.

Adjust your clutch cable. maybe something went lose and it adjusted by itself? ie: the tranny thinks the clutch is being let off of(because the cable might have been adjusted to it) so when you start the car in gear, tranny is thinking you are easing off the clutch already(like about when your about to stall, but your not giving it gas it starts to shakes)
juts my opinion. try adjusting the cable. goodluck
