RR Clutch Reinforcement Bracket help
 
I just installed my rr clutch reinforcement bracket on my existing/non-snapped pedal for added support after some tedious effort. Everything on the car was working normally before but now my car wont start so I'm assuming the clutch is not fully engaging the engine start switch (or whatever its called) The car seems to be able to shift into all gears fine but I can't really visually see a problem, anyone have any suggestions or have had this problem solved before that can help would be greatly appreciated. I've read some of the other threads on this topic and it seems ppl have "modded it to get it to engage." somehow but don't go into detail :uhh:

thanks guys had it fixed within minutes of reading your responses (which is why I choose this forum for all my needs, even non-rx related). I just didn't pull the grey plug the pedal pushes into far enough out to fully reset it. Great product, very happy (even happier now that my car is running). Install was a bit tough for a novice like myself. Deep sockets definately helped when retightning the assembly since the bolts stick out so far. No more squeeking either, makes the rest of the car seem a lot less sturdy and rigid thu. haha
