Default Car wont move in gear..

92 eg hatch, built ls vtec, ls trans with obx lsd installed...... Doing something very odd.. When the car is running, push the clutch pedal all the way in, put it in gear, and keep the clutch pedal pushed in (as if in neutral) and the car won't roll forward or backward as if it's getting hung up on something. But it will drive in gear just fine. Also is very hard to go into/ pull out of gear. Do I just need a clutch? Never had a bad clutch do this. Just did a slave cylinder, and bled the clutch but that didn't fix it.

But why would that cause it to get hung up while running, in gear, with the clutch pedal pushed all the way in? It should roll as if in neutral..

probably 1/3 of the whole clutch pedal movement does nothing before the clutch actually realeases/ grabs.... but all my set ups are kind of like that. normal..

It could be pushing it too far and pushing the pressure plate fingers into the disc. Its more common of a problem on cable clutches but i think it can happen on hydro clutches too.

If you lift an inch off the floor is it easier?
