Alright, I’m moving on to transmission as engine finally done. I’ve never dropped a transmission except on a vw so I’m about to get a ln education on it. Figured I’d ask yall what I need to look for one issue. T5 transmission- when I try to engage clutch it moves about two inches and then dead stops! Person who owned it had it rebuilt. Owner put on new clutch , pressure plate and throw out bearing, I think he said a stage 2 set up. Ever since then the clutch is impossible. He said he went in there cuz the clutch was really hard to push down . So , knowing it was already hard to push i assumed it was cabling but i replace it and the quadrant but it still isn’t just hard to push but impossible. So im going to drop the transmission and see wtf he screwed up. What should I be looking for? I mean, he had to have ligned it up, he got it on. What could be causing this

Start at the peddle, unhook the cable at the fork, do you have full peddle travel?
Show a pic of the fork position at rest and depressed as far as it will go please.
