Default Cant get car in gear while turned on??

After i did my burnout at the track today, I tried to put it in 1st gear and couldn't shift it to 1st or any other gear. I just had the exedy hypersingle clutch installed just 3 weeks ago. I can put it in gear fine with the car turned off. I can put it in first turn the car on and it'll grab and the car starts moving. Any ideas on what the problem could be?Could it be the throwout bearing? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I'm planning on checking the clutch fluid level tomorrow.Along with the clutch master cylinder.

Its your presure plate. More then likely you bent the fingers on them. I've had it happen before.

No, I havent seen any leaks. I checked the clutch fluid and it was black.

I was hearing some weird noises at idle near the clutch/brake resvoir. Both fluid leves are good. Execpt the clutch reservoir has black fluid in it.

Any other sugestions? If I did bend a pressure plate, hopefully I can just buy the pressure plate and get that changed out instead of a whole new clutch.

just curious did you break the clutch in? 3 weeks seems awfully short. They recomend about 900 miles of easy city driving.
