Is the throw out bearing on the arm correctly. If so I would tighten the adjustment some more, obviously the clutch is not disengaging.

Did you replace the pilot bushing? A too-tight pilot bushing will do that, too.

It's possible to put the wrong side of the clutch toward the flywheel. Hope you checked the direction markings on the clutch.

Being that you are out of room on the adjustment,could you have installed the wrong throw out bearing.Did you set the new one next to the old one to check ht.?
