You HAD it installed or you did it yourself? Because if you had it installed then the fact that you can't drive out of the mechanics shop should be enough to have them fix it hahaha

Yeah that pretty much says it is not disengaging at all, assuming your shifter was reinstalled correctly. Did you bleed it properly? Check the part number that it is specified for you car and transmission.

Push the clutch in and out about 10-15 times.

If you did everything right, that will fix the problem.

After it was installed it worked fine after test driving it around. I'm guessing air was still in the lines. Not sure what happened over night. Pumped it about 60x and nothing. Then had my friend pump it about 80x yeah we counted lol after i took the res. cap off.
