the clutch isnt engaging enough for me to put it in gear an the fork is rubbing on the pressure plate and it only runs when you let off the clutch pedal all the way

it won’t work very long regardless once all that grease smeared on the input shaft gets into the clutch friction surface. It needs to be completely disassembled and cleaned thoroughly to remove all that.

Are you sure it’s the correct clutch & flywheel assembly for an RX8? That’s the only way I see this happening assuming it’s all properly installed with the hydraulics fully bled.
