Just finished up putting an ACT clutch in my 1.8, went to start the car and move it out of the garage it doesnt go into gear? The clutch pedal has pressure (doesnt need bleeding) the slave cylinder is making contact with the clutch fork. The weird thing is, if the car is off I can row through all gears no problem, with the car on it will not go into gear, it just sits there and physically cant shift into a gear. Any help ideas on this particular issue? My thought is maybe that the throwout bearing isnt engaging?

It may be moving it, but it may not be moving enough.I would try that since it is very easy to do. If you do that and it still is not working properly than my friend you will need to take the trans back out and do it again. I don't know how it is done but I have seen a clutch disk installed improperly which would not allow it to disengage at all. You would be able to go through the gears when the engine is off, but when the engine is running since it will not dissengage you will not be able to put it in gear. Hence why people are sugesting adjusting the push rod. It is a simple fix/check.
Have a great day,
