Ok I just put the clutch. This was my first clutch job. My brother helped me put it in . We got it up and almost in but it wouldnt go all the way in by 1/4 of an inch. I suggested we slide the trans out and rotate the shaft but he wanted to try the bolt pull in method which worked. I just dont feel great about it. I remember when I put up the disc and PP on the flywheel I just lined up the holes not any dowel pins. I am a rookie. Am I doomed?? I tried the clutch after the install as its still in the air and all seemed ok. What should I do??

Last little bit was likely the input shaft going into the pilot bearing (or bushing). Pulling it in with the bolts isn't the best idea but it's probably fine.

I slid the driveshaft in and rotated it to line the splines up. You wouldn't have been able to get the trans that far if they weren't lined up. There are no dowel pins on the flywheel for the PP. Did you put a new bushing / bearing in with a hammer? Could have made it out-of-round causing some friction between it and the input shaft, but it'll be fine.

Yes the hammer and socket was the only way that bushing was going in. I just took it around the block and the clutch feels great. I wanted the car to warm up to check for leaks at the bajo bolts and I noticed my oil pressure gauge is now reading 0. Ugh Did I hit the pressure switch with a wrench and break it. Yes there is oil in the car

I did notice that the black body was loose on the pressure switch by loose I mean it moves in and out. Just the black plastic.
