    for some reason the new thrust bearings are shorter than the originals ,not by much but enough to cause problems and it does sound like your column is jammed to free it you need to pull on the rods under the bonnet ( i think its the one closest to the fire wall that causes the problem) it should just pop up easily

    Also make sure the car is not resting or holding on the gear, otherwise you wont be able to pull the linkage up (if the linkages are jammed.)(normally between 1st and 2nd gear change Jamming)
    Also with the clutch mine was grinding gears when i first got it, but just adjusted it at the clutch fork to give it more throw as it was just off the floor when the clutch would engauge, now about nearly halfway out when clutch engauages. this was about 4-5 turns i think.
