car will not shift

im hoping u guys can help me, i was driving from a friend's home and all of a sudden my car started having problems getting into gear. then shortly after, the car wont go into gear at all. I recently changed the clutch 2 a Exedy twin disk and am still breaking it in, there's just about 350miles on it. does anyone have any ideas?

It is clutch disengagement.

Have someone hit the pedal and through the inspection cover see if the discs move.

how is your car modded? does the oil light flicker at all? to me it doesnt sound like its the clutch anymore. mine bogs down coming to a stop, does it shake no matter what tho? or after driving?

It only shakes and chatters when the clutch is down, and it sounds fine when its not. i just have a few bolt on. cams, intake, full exhaust, fmic, walbro, dump. etc. anybody have any ideas?

did you install the clutch? if not, talk to the person who installed it, it might has something to do with the workmanship

i installed it, its a exedy twin disk and it comes with a lighten flywheel, everything was torqued. i started it this morning now theres a CEL. im at work now so i can't see what it is. can a bad clutch pedal switch do that? i was just looking at the CEL list and thats the only thing that could be related, but of course i dont kno if thats the problem or not. i kno the chatter is normal with these clutches but the shaking, stalling sound and the hard starting is what i cant figure out.

Had my wife start it and look at the boost gauge, she said the vacuum goes from -16 to -13. vacuum hose issue? and would it run that rough only when the clutch is in, if this was the problem.
