    Pull my engine about 3 weeks ago and but in a new clutch and pressure plate.

    Few days after the transmission wasn't dissengageing property, (rolling forward on start up with the clutch in)

    Replaced the slave and master cylindes. But still no luck

    found out that a bolt was missing out of thr transmission and that was causing the issue.

    Last week it started doin it again, 2 more bolts where loose in the bell housing.

    Last night it stared doing it for a 3rd time. As this point i guess its time to pull the transmission. All the bolts are tight on the bell and the slave is blead.

    Any ideas on anything else to check before ripping the trans out? Any thoughts on what it could be? Bad throw out/ pressure plate?

    IIRC if it is a 3.4 the disc installs with the offset towards the flywheel and not towards the pressure plate.

    Are you saying the clutch may be in backwards?

    Yes possibly. Timmah the toolman has a 2 part video on clutch replacement.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    This happens even with the parking brake Applied ??

    Flat ground no slope at all ??

    If you step on the brake does the engine stall??

    This seems to be an issue with the Aisin clutch kit. Read some of the reviews on the Amazon page and it gets really unclear:
    $233 AISIN CKT-040 OE Matched Clutch Kit - Compatible with Select Toyota 4Runner, T100, Tacoma, Tundra
    https://www.amazon.com/Aisin-CKT-040-Clutch-Kit/dp/B00340FETK/

    This guy seems to be saying the opposite though:

    I feel like there was a thread on here a few weeks/months ago where someone had a shop do a clutch job and they installed the clutch disc incorrectly.

    If you drop the tranny again, make sure you check the clutch fork for cracks.
