Retrace the steps.

  1. Why did you chose to replace the Clutch in the first place? (Diagnosed Correctly?)
  2. Did you reconnect the Neutral Safety Switch?
  3. Did you replace anything else? (throw-out bearing, clutch fork, shaft, fluids)
  4. When you put it all back together, did you mind the proper torque?
  5. Recheck that damn Safety Switch
  6. The Clutch Cable, Did you seat it fully at the fork?
  7. The Clutch Cable, on the firewall is it adjustable or fixed?
You are saying that it Will not go into gear at all. Was this the issue before you turned the wrench? I am asking this because I am 100% the one who had this same issue. I burnt up a Stage 2 clutch in 26 miles after install........
