motor is in and running but i've got no clutch

so i finally got my new motor running and i go to take it for a boot...... and i can't put the car in gear.
it's got a new clutch and pressure plate. if i put in the clutch....... it feels like i did but with no clutch engagement

if i shut the motor off, put it in gear and try to start it she lopes ahead even with the clutch pedal depressed.

do i need to adjust when installing a new clutch? i would have thought i would have something there. i'm just wondering if i got the wrong pressure plate.

the guy i got it from had both a 914 and a super one, and he wasn't 100% sure it was the right one.

but it looked identicle to my old one, and when i brought it home it bolted up perfect.

well i adjusted the clutch cable from undernaeth (there was quit a bit of slack)

i go inside to see how the clutch is and the pedal won't move.


can you guys think of anything that might be causing this problem?

thanks
jeff
