would this be enough to cause the clutch to not disengage?

seems very minimal... I have replaced all clutch (hydro) components and the clutch itself...

 

Minimal? That may as well be a mile apart. The slave cylinder doesn't move as much as you think. I could definitely see that causing pressure plate release issues.

 

ok so after reinstalling the entire clutch system. I still have the same issue.

Clutch will not disengange.

I tried adjusting the master cylinder clutch rod all the way out, all the way in, in the middle. It will not disengage....

the car will go through the gears with the tires off the ground while they are spinning. If they are not spinning it does not want to go into gear.

 

Is the clutch disc in upside down?

 

I hope you meant backwards. It would be hard to install a circle upside down. :-P

That could definitely be an issue, I just assumed the OP would know that if he can drop a trans...

 

B series clutch since it wasn't mentioned?

Clutch disc spit a spring out, very common.

If you kept forcing the clutch pedal with a bad disc you likely bent the clutch arm in doing so.

 

I don't use sprung discs and it is virtually impossible to install a disc backwards or you would hear a lot of grinding etc.....


Here's something to think about.... Potentially over torqued pp bolts to flywheel?

 

My apologies, yes b series clutch, stage 5 4 puck is the new one, stage4 6 puck was the old one...

Lsvtec turbo with gsr tranny and LS fifth

 

Over torquing the pressure plate bolts would be impossible to cause your issue. The pressure plate lays flat on the flywheel anyways.

The system is pretty basic. If your slave cylinder is stroking out properly then either your clutch arm is in the wrong spot or the throw out bearing is on wrong or hanging up/blocked. Unless of course the disc is bigger than one of the surfaces...

Are you positive your slave cylinder is functional and bled properly?

 

I do not have one of those vacuum pump things. I bled it by the pedal and I have done it many times this way and have had no issues.....

 

Basically pumped it out with the pedal , and releasing at the nozzle on the slave

 

*update* car is at the shop, they will let me know what they find. All they said was it wasn't disengaging....
