Can Imagine He put it in the wrong way round. it really only fits good the correct way.
What about the Rod on the Master cylinder inside the engine compartment. May need backing off.

Recently I have had to remove and re-install a Holden 186 engine from the Series three. Whilst doing this I changed the clutch plate, pressure plate, release bearing etc. Upon installing the engine back in the vehicle I had trouble bleeding the clutch and had a leak in the line. I have since replaced the slave and master cylinder along with the hydraulic line. I bled the clutch but it still seemed a bit spongy and not consistent feel. I wasn't able to engage any of the gears and when I managed to force it into gear the clutch only had to be released half an inch or and it would engage. I then removed the small inspection plate on the top of the bell housing and noticed that the release bearing was not squarely in contact with the diaphragm springs. I'm guessing that this could be the cause of the inconsistent feel and the clutch not disengaging. Has any one got any suggestions of what I should do now? I'm pretty sure that my father put the clutch plate in the right way, so I'm out of ideas. I've attached some photos of what I could see.

Agree with whitehillbilly about the difficulty of putting the driven plate in the wrong way around. It is almost impossible.
It's hard to tell from those pics, but the fingers on the pressure plate don't look so good to me. It may be the pic, but it almost looks like the pressure plate has collapsed. Those fingers should all be in even contact with the thrust bearing. In the other pic, the bearing looks square.
But, like I said, very hard to tell from the pics, so don't quote me. Maybe someone more familiar with the installation will contradict me.

The only way this sort of situation could arise, as far as I can see, is a damaged pressure plate, or, and this may be the case, some of the bolts holding it to the flywheel are missing/loose (in which case it probably is damaged by now!).

Many thanks for that. It all seemed ok when we put the engine back in, although we did have some difficulty lining it up at first. I'm guessing that I'll be up for a new pressure plate? The car hasn't been driven out of the garage. Is there any way it could be salvageable at all.
