New clutch kit issue
I just installed a new clutch kit, have not done this before.
After everything is put back together i find that when I take my foot off the clutch in neutral that I hear high pitch grinding, sounds like threads in transmission fork arent meshing.
I'm starting to take things back apart but I'm not sure what I'm looking for

If you are able to post a video of the sounds the car is making that would help a lot.

Is your clutch for seated properly on its pivot ball, this can be checked without removing the transmission.

Other than very ugly?
It almost sounds like the input shaft splines aren't fully engaging. Are you sure the clutch disk was facing the right way?

Clutch disk is in correctly but at this point I
m thinking wrong or defective clutch disk.
The inout shaft not meshing with clutch disk has got to be what the sound is.
