Clutch won't engage

Hi, I have a 95 Honda civic with the 1.5L non-v-tec motor. At first the car wouldn't go into gear, so I got a clutch kit from autozone and replaced the clutch disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing, and pilot bearing. Then after I put it all together I started it up and it goes into gear fine now, and I backed the car up and started going forward and I heard a little clunk, and now the clutch doesn't engage, I can hear it spinning, but the car won't move. Could this be the slave cylinder or master cylinder problem, or is the pressure plate screwed up? The slave cylinder looks a little wet under the boot and the pedal does feel a little loose, but I bled it and nothing changed. Can you help me please. Thank you

Oh I also had the flywheel cut at a machine shop, and you can hear the clutch grinding when you let off the pedal in gear, but it won't grab. Thanks

Not master or slave. This is related to the pressure plate and the throwout. Did you put the throwout bearing in correctly?

Thank you, I guess I have to take it apart again. I know I put the bearing in right. But maybe it fell out of place when I was wrestling with the tranny. Lol I hope I didn't mess up the teeth on the pressure plate too. Well thanks for your help

Hi, again, thanks for your help, I found the problem and it was actually the driver-side axle popped out and the teeth got messed up, but luckily the tranny was still ok and I got a new axle and it works fine now. Thanks
