Suggestion
It could have placed off-set pressure on the flywheel and bent or broken the crankshaft...
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I�ll make this short.
motor dropped. Maintenance done.
bought all new flywheel and clutch
yes the clutch disc is facing out gearbox side out. Motor would not rotate. Dropped trans.
fork came off the pivot. Broke the pivot plastic tip. So fork had wedged in there preventing motor from rotating. Installed new one. New slave. Bled. Installed trans went in like butter.
motor rotates and starts. Runs perfect.
push the clutch and and grinding. Shut it off.
I have no idea what�s happening.
I hate to be thee Devil's Advocate, but when you sa you bolted up the Transmisssion and the Engine was Locked up/ wouldn't turn, now a strange noise, the first thing that comes to mind is what could be damaged by the jammed up Fork between the bell-housing and the pressure plate..... It could have placed off-set pressure on the flywheel and bent or broken the crankshaft...
Hopefully thats not the case, but as a good Boy-Scout, hope for the best but prepare for the worst..
Take it back apart and Inspect again carefully...
first time it was jammed I only tried rotating it by hand. Wouldn�t turn at all. Dropped trans. Reinstalled it and motor runs awesome. Turned off. Pushed clutch in felt weird. Wouldnt start or rotate. Finally started. Pushed clutch in and it grinded. Shut it off.
Fork is rubbing on flex plate. Broke the plastic tip on my new pivot pin again. ( can�t I just buy this plastic tip? ).
bought a new fork. This one must be bent?? Still don�t know exactly what�s going on. Might have bent the fork the first time I installed the trans.
or this stack isn�t right. So maybe wrong flywheel? Looks a bit thick which would explain everything.
There is only one OE(M) DMS flywheel for the 996, so slim chance you've got an incorrect flywheel that would still fit.
Compare p/n of your purchased flywheel with that listed on any of the parts sites (sponsors).
I'd guess something was misaligned.
When u tighten the bolts on the preasure plate it loads the center "spring' tabs. The post above is stating that the fork should not put any pressure in the "springs" unless the slave is energised.
Yes, the pressure plate should be fully clamping the clutch disc on flywheel once all PP bolts are tight with no pressure from the throwout bearing on the fingers. If clutch wasn't clamping like that, the clutch would slip all the time. You'd basically have no clutch.
Tighten PP bolts in a crisscrossside to side pattern to evenly compress the fingers. make sure to use clutch alignment tool and center it. Tool should easily insert//pullout from the pilot bearing in the flywheel and the plate splines once PP is fully torqued down.
make certain disc is oriented on the correct side
.
Like theprf said, if you can't feel play/wiggle in the fork when its assembled, something is wrong.
So, is it now working ok now that you've corrected
"
clutch fork 180 degrees wrong
"
, or still have a problem..?
I ordered a new fork, pin, clip and rubber disc thing. The old slave lost its plastic tip and had worn into the fork. I also bought one of those plastic pieces that surrounds the pivot pin. All to be installed tomorrow.
it all makes sense now. I�ll let you know how it goes. Thanks!
So to be clear as to be able to advise others who may make this same mistake, you had the slave cyldinder side rotated 180 to the fulcrum side, and the fulcrum side was to the slave cylinder side ?
I've never seen that one before .....
