Transmission help/ Advice needed

I recently changed the flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disk, and thow out bearing. I got it all out back together and now it tries to roll when I put it in gear.. I think its something to do with the tob. I can pull on the release fork and it'll click but whenever I put slight pressure toward the passenger side, it clunks out.
This website hates me I guess, here's links to a couple videos of the issue

you might have damaged the collar. you might need to get an ACT monoloc if you dont have it yet
your video reminds me of that time when my TOB disengaged while on track. for some reason I couldn't make it lock in properly

​​​​​​Okay so I thought the pressure plate already had the monolock already installed. This is the pressure plate I installed, is there another piece I need to order and put on?

It says monolock in the center where the the collar should be

I agree with ViciousLSD the TOB monolock could be damaged, missing or not engaged.

If you got what's in the picture you do not need anymore parts.

Take the two bolts out of the clutch slave cylinder on the trans and set it to one side.

Pull the clutch fork away from the engine as far as you can. This presses the TOB forward into the monolock.

There is a chance when you do this that the mono lock design will allow the TOB to reengage with the mono lock. If that happens the clutch fork will stay closer to the engine than it was before.

Try and see if you have clutch action.

This is a pull off clutch, when you press the clutch pedal the fork goes forward under slave pressure and pulls the pressure plate off the clutch plate freeing it up.

If this doesn't give you clutch action it is likely that everything needs to come apart again. Be sure to read about how to disengage the TOB with a long screw driver through the inspection plug on the bottom of the trans.

cool if you have a monoloc and didnt stab it.
try to manually turn the motor by the crank pulley bolt then reengage the TOB, it might take a few tries. the collar might be at an angle

Watched the video again, looks like you are doing it right. The rubber plug under the trans and a pen light will allow you to see if the monolock is there. Likely impossible to film but you should be able to see if it is there or not. They can be bumped out of place and fall down during assembly. If that has happened then it has to come apart.

Was that a new TOB? a good idea not to reuse them if worn at all.

I think rotating the engine might help also as suggested.

I have an Exedy single clutch and used the ACT Monolock with it, no issues.

I've also tried using giant zipties on the clutch fork (then added a handle) so my wife can pull on it, while i jiggle the collar

same happened to me but that was my very first time. I would have tried to turn the crank for every attempt to get it to lock
