The ring is not engaged on the pressure plate. Make sure it didn't become dislodged.

I had the same exact problem two days ago. Anyways, there's nothing you can do other than drop the transmission back out. The fork is supposed to be pulled back towards the driver side with not very much force at all, and it'll snap/lock itself back into place and stay there. If it doesn't catch when you let it go and it just goes back to the passenger side of the car, you have to drop the transmission again.

I was stressing out when it happened to me, I didn't know why it was happening at first. I then called Road Race Engineering for advice over the phone. I ended up dropping the transmission like they told me to do and when I did, the little collar ring that is logged into the pressure plate looked fine. They told me to take my pressure plate back off. When I did, sure enough, the ring on the backside of the pressure plate came falling out. I took the pressure plate, ring, and wedge collar to RRE and they showed me how to reinstall it properly. I'll take pics and post it if you'd like.

Anyways drop your transmission and remove your pressure plate so you can inspect what the problem is and why your TOB isn't catching. Good luck and be patient bro.
