Transmission Not Engaging Gears Z1 CSC Elimination Kit

If anyone has experience with the Z1 CSC delete kit and encountered the same issue, any help would be appreciated. The time finally came to replace my clutch, so I opted for the Z1 Motorsports Clutch kit with the lightweight flywheel and CSC Elimination Kit. After the first install I had the same issue I'm having now, but I figured it was because my stack height and pivot-ball shim measurements were wrong. I dropped the transmission, uninstalled everything, retook the correct measurements and bolted everything back up according to the manual. The clutch pedal has about the amount of pressure that I would expect from it after being bled. The transmission will engage gears when the car is not running, but once I start the engine, it won't go into any gear. Again, any help is appreciated, as I can't just toss the kit and get something else for a few more months. I need this car back on the road, and this project has been nothing but frustration.

Best bet would be to take it apart, double check the paperwork to make sure you didn't mess up something small. If it all checks out give Z1 a call they're pretty good about talking to people on the phone.
