Default Will not move...

I just replaced my throw out bearing, pilot bearing, fork and cable and now the car won't move in any gear. When I release the clutch pedal it feels like theres a spring on the pedal and it will come up very quickly. I'm sure that everything is in good but don't know why it won't move. Any ideas?

does it have the original quadrant? maybe the teeth are stripped?

As far as I can tell it does. Do you think that maybe the quadrent isn't working properly and not letting the clutch fully disingauge (SP)?
Thanks for that idea.

any grinding or noise when you try to put it in gear? may want to have a friend press the clutch and make sure the lever is moving at the tranny. also may need to check the clutch disc and pressure plate ( assuming you removed those to do the pilot bearing) and make sure the spring side of the disc is away from the flywheel

guess if i had actually read the part about what you did, i would have also mentioned checking the install of the fork on the pivot ball. i like the haynes books, lots of pictures

I sure that I put the clutch disc in right but I will check it again today. There was no grinding when going into gear. The only thing that I found weird was the pedal would kick back on the way back up almost like it had a spring.

if everything went together smoothly under the car, then the only thing i can think of is that the cable is too tight and is not letting the clutch engage. that would give you the spring effect as well. check the assembly/adjustment of the quadrant one more time
