Default Clutch Swap - Z goes forward in reverse

Hey all -

Just performed a clutch job on my 2004. Two things I don't know why they are happening and can't explain are happening after the swap. The brake lights are on continuously, even when off and the key is out. It is as if the brake pedal is being continuously depressed. But the more pressing issue is the car goes forward in reverse. It's almost as if it is first gear. I tested the "bite" in all the other gears just to ensure they were catching, but when it bites in reverse, it is as if the car is put in some forward gear. Any thoughts on either issue?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Check shifter alignment. Probably in 4th or 6th.
