2004 350z clutch issue
Quick question is it possible to put the clutch disc in backwards if I remember correctly I put flush side towards flywheel but no matter what can’t get the clutch to pump up all the way to shift into gear while running it will go into gear not running has new clutch,pressure plate, throw out bearing master cylinder and slave cylinder and line
As I recall, the actual disc should have the lettering/print facing out (away from flywheel) when installing. But the issues you are describing (at least from what I can decipher) sounds like a hydraulic issue. Bleed your clutch hydraulics and inspect for signs of leakage at the master and slave cylinders.

I don't think you could put the disc in backwards. It would have required a lot of effort for the pressure plate bolts to reach the flywheel, much less trying to torque it down. The hub would have to push the disc away from the flywheel a considerable bit.
Checking your hydraulic system first is good advice from above.
i had a similar experience with an 03 or 04 where i received a car with no transmission and "some parts", followed by a rebuilt transmission & bell housing. I got it all together and with the clutch pushed all the way in in gear on jack stands with the engine running, the wheels wouldn't stop turning. The clutch master and slave had been replaced previously, so I didn't want to complicate things by adding another potential problem/unknown.
To make a long, miserable story longer, after running through everything I could think of, I called the owner to find the whereabouts of the core transmission. On inspection, the old clutch fork pivot ball was *significantly* taller than the one that came with the new transmission. I swapped it out and it was still working fine 9 years later when he traded the car.
